Travel with a nod to the winding route of the Ma and Pa. The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad linked York and Baltimore, crossing state lines and serving communities such as Bel Air and Delta. Its regional trains carried passengers, mail, and freight, and its older equipment became a favorite among railfans. This luggage tag brings that memorable railroad history along on your journeys, making it a distinctive choice for train enthusiasts, local-history collectors, and travelers who appreciate the stories behind America’s railways.
The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, known as the Ma and Pa and identified by reporting mark MPA, operated between York, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore, Maryland. It grew from two 19th-century narrow-gauge railways: the Baltimore and Lehigh and the York Southern. After both converted to standard gauge, they merged to form the railroad on February 12, 1901. Its winding 77.2-mile route passed through places including Bel Air and Delta, connecting cities only 45 miles apart. The company carried passengers, mail, and freight, including slate, coal, lumber, furniture, and agricultural products. Known among railfans in the 1930s and 1940s for its older equipment and scenic, curving route, it later faced declining traffic. Passenger service ended August 31, 1954, and the Maryland trackage was abandoned in 1958. Emons Industries acquired the railroad in 1971; in 1976 it acquired a former Pennsylvania Railroad branch between York and Hanover. Emons merged its M&P subsidiary with Yorkrail in 1999 to form York Railway. The company’s remaining original line was mostly abandoned by 1984, while a short section is preserved in York County by the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad Preservation Society.
