Reply to "Rail-fanning on The OGR Forum 🚂 Welcome: Pictures YOU have taken! • Hope to see you out rail-fanning."

Some actual photos from me today. Over the MLK Day federal holiday, I ventured out to the Delmarva Peninsula for a chase of the Maryland & Delaware Railroad. The company runs three ex-Conrail (previously PRR) shortlines out of Massey and Selbyville (DE), and Federalsburg, MD. On the holiday, only the Massey power was running, just a relatively short run from Massey to the Perdue mill at Roberts.

From past research, the usual power based here is one of the road's three ex-Conrail/PC RS3Ms, but I believe it was down for long-term maintenance. Instead, the road is leasing a Black River Railroad SW1200, which I didn't mind seeing at all.

Passing under the one elevated shot, at the fittingly named High Bridge Road.

The only bridge of any length on the route, crossing over the Chester River. Unfortunately, while the entire route was max 15-mph, the run was still short enough that the return to Massey was backlit.
