Wrabel A view of Parkton prior to 1912, looking northeast and showing the railroad station, since demolished. Source: HSBC collection, accession #P001185 Parkton is an agricultural community in northern Baltimore County, located 18 miles from Towson and 5.5 miles south of the Pennsylvania line. It takes its name from Margaret Parke, who divided the land she inherited from her father James Calder, and began selling building lots c1854. York Road, one of the first public turnpikes, passes through Parkton, where a tollgate was established in 1859 (in later years, there were two tollgates — one on either side of the railroad crossing). Farmers raised wheat, corn, and oats; bred cattle; and produced milk and cream for the Baltimore markets. There was also a grist mill (Roser's) and a small paper mill. The fortunes of the town rose and fell with those of the Northern Central Railroad, as described in this double issue of History Trails.

  • "Fifth" Maryland at Guilford Courthouse: an Exercise in Historical Accuracy - L
    HOME CMTE. SUBMISSIONS THE "FIFTH" MARYLAND AT GUILFORD COURTHOUSE: AN EXERCISE IN HISTORICAL ACCURACY - L. E. Babits, February 1988 Over the years, an error has gradually crept into the history of the Maryland Line. The error involves a case of mistaken regimental identity in which the Fifth Maryland is credited with participation in the battle of Guilford Courthouse at the expense of the Second Maryland.[1] When this error appeared in the Maryland Historical Magazine,[2] it seemed time to set the record straight. The various errors seem to originate with Mark Boatner. In his Encyclopedia of the American Revolution, Boatner, while describing the fight at Guilford Courthouse, states: As the 2/Gds prepared to attack without waiting for the three other regiments to arrive, Otho Williams, "charmed with the late demeanor of the first regiment (I Md), hastened toward the second (5th Md) expecting a similar display...". But the 5th Maryland was virtually a new regiment. "The sight of the scarlet and steel was too much for their nerves," says Ward.[3] In this paragraph Boatner demonstrates an ignorance of the actual command and organizational structure of Greene's Southern Army because he quotes from Ward's l94l work on the Delaware Line and Henry Lee's recollections of the war, both of which correctly identify the unit in question as the Second Maryland Regiment.[4] The writer of the Kerrenhappuch Turner article simply referred to Boatner's general reference on the Revolutionary War for the regimental designation.[5] Other writers have done

  • FHWA Feb 2003
    SECTION V: Design No national standards or guidelines dictate rail-with-trail facility design. Guidance must be pieced together from standards related to shared use paths, pedestrian facilities, rail­ road facilities, and/or roadway crossings of railroad rights-of-way. Trail designers should work closely with railroad operations and maintenance staff to achieve a suitable RWT de­ sign. Whenever possible, trail development should reflect standards set by adjacent rail­ roads for crossings and other design elements. Ultimately, RWTs must be designed to meet both the operational needs of railroads and the safety of trail users. The challenge is to find ways of accommodating both types of uses without compromising safety or function. The recommendations in this section are based on: •Extensive research into all existing RWTs. •In-depth case studies of 21 existing and planned RWTs. •Interviews withrailroad officials, trail managers, and law enforcement officials. •Review ofexisting train and trail safety literature. •Analysis ofpubl icly-accessible trespassing and crash data. •Input from a panel ofrailro ad officials and experts, trail developers and managers, trail users, lawyers, railroad operators, and others. •Extrapolation from relevant State transportation manuals, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (1999) (hereafter referred to as the AASHTO Bike Guide), Ameri­ cans with Disabilities Act (ADA) publications for trails and pedestrian facilities, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD, 2000), and numerous Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and other Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) documents. •Theexperience and expertise of researchers and reviewers, including experienced railroad and trail design engineers, landscape architects, safety specialists, trail de­ velopers and managers, trail users, lawyers, railroad operators, operations officials, and others involved in this study.

  • DEC 0 1 2003 Termination of Coverage
    B.C.D. 08-45.27 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION DEC 0 1 2003 Termination of Coverage This is the determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the continued coverage as employers under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231 et seq.) (RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 351 et seq.) (RUIA) of 45 covered entities. The Board’s Audit and Compliance Section has identified these 45 employers which were never assigned a BA number. These entities were formerly operated by a covered rail carrier employer or formerly provided creditable service to a covered employer. In each case, the railroad operator or service recipient no longer operates and has been terminated as a covered employer. Since the operating/service recipient companies have ceased railroad or rail related operations and, in many instances, have ceased to exist, and no railroad or rail related operation is conducted by or on behalf of any of these 45 entities, their employer status is terminated as explained in more detail below. Union Lumber Company Service for Union Lumber Company was credited to the California Western Railroad and Navigation Company (BA Number 2703), which was a covered employer from June 30, 1905 to January 1, 1948, when its name was changed to California Western Railroad. California Western Railroad retained BA Number 2703 and was a covered employer until it ceased operations June 30, 1976. The Board’s records indicate that the service of train and engine crews engaged in the operation of the logging railroad of Union Lumber Company was creditable as service to the California Western Railroad & Navigation Company from December 1, 1917.
