Given are the non-New Jersey cities and the railroads which handled the train or through cars. In many cases the name of the train is also given. Most of these destinations were one-seat or one-berth rides, and dining cars were a part of most of the long distance trains. We think this will be an eye-opener for many of you...

Kusiak. The retired Linthicum engineer, an energetic civic leader, has just become the first Marylander to lead the world's largest service club, Lions Clubs International, with 1.4 million members and 46,000 chapters globally. He's on the road constantly, traversing airports and hotels nationwide to set direction for the group, which mixes civic service, charitable work and business networking. "I feel excited," said Kusiak about taking over as president, saying that his achievement required a lot of planning in the past two years. Kusiak will have little time to savor his election. Sworn in July 9 at the club's 87th annual convention in Detroit, he expects to spend the next 12 months living out of his suitcase. His work will involve forging partnerships with businesses and foundations, visiting hundreds of Lions and young Leos clubs and following up on the Lions club's largest endeavor, eyesight conservation. Members of the organization see his appointment as significant - and rare - for the state's 8,000 Lions. "Because Maryland is not one of your larger states, it will probably be the last time it will happen," said Kent Eitemiller, 2nd vice president of the Freedom District Lions Club in Pikesville, and among 14 people from that club who went to the convention to support Kusiak.

Information contained here and along the Trail highlights stories that have been hidden within the landscape for more than 140 years. Follow the bugle trailblazer signs to waysides that chronicle Maryland’s deeply divided loyalties and to many of the Civil War’s lesser-known but important sites. The Trail, including a number of additional sites, can be driven in one, two or three days depending on traveler preference.
