A little info about the Maryland Midland:
The Maryland Midland (Reporting Marks: MMID) is a shortline
serving central Maryland. It started operating 17 miles of
track in 1980 and has grown to it's current 67 mile size via
acquisitions of ex-Western Maryland and Pennsylvania Trackage
from CSX and Conrail.
Today it interchanges over 9000 freight cars
yearly with CSX via its interchanges at Emory Grove (near
Baltimore) and Highfield (Near Hagerstown) MD. One of its
major customers is Lehigh Cement Company, a major cement manufacturer
who's products can be found throughout the globe.
The MMID current owns six locomotives, GP9ms
#s 200-202 and GP38-3s #s 300-302. It is also currently leasing
2 GP40 locomotives from Helm Leasing.
Our models are representative of each of the
three GP38-3s, from the orange plows to correct GP38AC/DC
lettering for each unit.
More information about the Maryland Midland's
operation can be had from their website, MMIDRwy.com.
