As is common with shortline railroads, we cannot fully predict our operations a significant time in advance. Our operations are dependent upon the demands of our customers, and as a result can vary from day to day. We can, however, try and explain the tendancies for each line and the trains that operate on them. Also included below, is a company locomotive roster. |
Snow Hill Line As needed, Monday-Friday, on duty at 06:30. Trains on this line usually operate lite to Frankford, DE., to pick up cars from the Norfolk Southern interchange. After that, the train will generally run to Tyson Foods in Snow Hill, working Pep-Up in Selbyville as needed in season. Outbound empty cars will be interchanged back to NS in Frankford before heading home to Selbyville. Unit trains are often handled on this line, and
vary between stone and corn. The stone is offloaded in Bishop at American
Paving, while the unit corn trains are taken the length of the line to Tyson
Foods in Snow Hill.
Current motive power on the line, but subject to change, is CF7's 2630 and 2632. Seaford Line As needed, Monday-Friday, on duty at 06:30. Trains on the Seaford Line are based at company headquarters in Federalsburg. From there, they will usually run lite to pick up empties out of customers in Hurlock, Williamsburg, Cambridge and Federalsburg, as well as place any loads that are already online. The trains will then take the empties to the NS interchange in Seaford. After Seaford, the crew will usually deliver the loads from interchange, most typically including Perdue in Hurlock, Solo Cup in Federalsburg, Tri-Gas & Oil in Williamsburg and Interstate Corrpack in Cambridge. Other customers that may receive cars are Reliance Wood Preserving in Federalsburg, ES Steel in Federalsburg, B&G Foods and the multi-customer Transload facility in Federalsburg. Current motive power on the line, but subject
to change, is RS3M 1203 or CF7 2628. Centreville Line As needed, Monday-Friday, on duty at 06:30. There are two portions of the Centreville Line. The first is from the crew base of Massey, Md, to the Norfolk Southern interchange in Townsend, Delaware. The second portion is the actual line from Massey to Carville. The crew will more often operate the first portion of the line, as a trip to interchange is often needed without a demand for a run on the line past Massey. Customers include Wenger's Feed Mill in Massey, Perdue in Roberts, Harbor Sales in Sudlersville, as well as Crop Production Services (CPS) and Southern States Co-op in Carville. Operations between Massey and Carville will most often occur during the late fall grain season and fall and spring fertilizer pushes. Current motive power on the line, but subject to change,
is RS3Ms 1201 and 1202, as well as SW900 801. Chestertown Line As needed, Monday-Friday, on duty at 06:30. The Chestertown Line is often used for trains operating from Massey to Worton, Maryland. Genovique, located at the end of this branch, keeps the line very active year-round. Operations typically occur on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Other than Genovique, stops may include Crop Production Services (CPS) in Worton, Kent County Co-op in Kennedyville, Perdue in Lynch, and Willard Agri-Service in Lynch. Current motive power on the line, but subject to change,
is RS3Ms 1201 and 1202, as well as SW900 801. PLEASE NOTE! We ask those wishing to enter Maryland & Delaware Railroad property to please sign a release at the headquarters in Federalsburg before doing so. While it is fine to photograph and view our trains from a public area without doing this, it is REQUIRED before entering onto railroad property. Violators WILL be prosecuted! |
