Baltimore and Annapolis Train Ride

Shannon sent in this story for readers:

When I was young… very young, I always wanted to see the train that ran on the Baltimore and Annapolis short line in Maryland. One day my Mom called the B7A Railroad to make the inquiry and they called right back and said the train was sitting at the Crain Highway crossing in Glen Burnie. She drove me up there and there it was. The engineer came down, took me into the cab and allowed me to open the throttle a bit and to blow the horn. That locomotive is now on display at the B&O railroad museum in Baltimore, MD.

I too remember that Engine that ran on the B&A shortline… living in Baltimore Highlands i used to remember running down the street to catch a glimpse of it as it went by…. I love those memories. You got lucky being able to ride in it!!!
