As a Howard County resident who lives and drives this area daily, I do not want Howard County to help fund a railroad station and two parking garages and other infrastructure for the ill-conceived development which will bring 1000 residential units and about 800,000 sq. ft of commercial and office space to Route 1 at the Howard entrance to the Laurel Race track. The traffic nightmares will be intolerable! The City of Laurel train station is only 2500 feet away. Why should we fund this for the developer???

I found out many years later that my grandfather Brueggeman did work for the NKP! We saw many diesels and some steam on the Central, but, my favorite memories have been of the few NKP trains we saw on those weekend days. Seems most NKP trains ran early morning or evening around Mentor when a little boy is home.

  • Steam Passenger Service on the B & O

    Steam Passenger Service on the B & O

    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, January 8, 2007 Steam Passenger Trains on the B & O: In the early 1930s, taking my cousin Eleanor and me to school at 4th & West Streets in Wilmington, my father would often stop at Mac’s Texaco filling station at Pennsylvania Avenue and Union Street, which was 50 yards from the overpass on the B & O Railroad’s main line. As we were stopped, a morning passenger train headed south (or west as the B & O called it) would often be pulling away from Delaware Avenue Station with a 4-6-2 Pacific “President Class” locomotive on the front end. On the side of the cab would be lettered “President Washington” or whatever president it turned out to be, and it was great fun to see how many “Presidents” we could see in a certain period of time. I think there were 24 locomotives in this class, and they were numbered from 5300 up. In 1936, I went to Washington during spring vacation with Dave Creighton and the YMCA for a wonderful three days. We went down on the newly electrified Pennsylvania Railroad, with its brand new GG-1 locomotives pulling the passenger trains. Coming home, however, we rode the Royal Blue on the B & O, still pulled by a fast steam locomotive. The whole train, including the locomotive, was painted dark blue, and there was modest streamlining on the locomotive, which had been modified from one of the 24 “Presidents.” There was a nifty (cool) buffet car on the train with a friendly black attendant in a white coat who served us cherry-vanilla ice cream behind a counter running the length of the car.
