When I took the Cape Cod and Hyannis RR train to the Cape this summer, I noticed a lot of track-improvement work going on along the way. In particular, I noticed that wherever this was going on, there would be a gondola full of ballast parked near by, with the logo "The Great Ma & Pa". What rr is this? Thumbnail history, current status? Can someone point me to information on modeling this car with said markings? -- Kenn (...decvax!)goutal

"The Great Ma & Pa" sounds like a prestidigitator, but is in fact the Maryland and Pennsylvania RR., a remarkably long-lived short line. george chaltas uiucdcs!chaltas
