Thank you Dick Bradley for the great answer to last week's question! See his comment for the answer. :)
It's 1943 and the country is at war. Allied victories are turning the tide of the war and America's industries and the country's railroads, big and small, are doing their part. The Maryland & Pennsylvania RR (Affectionately known as The Ma & Pa) might not have been as busy as the big RRs, still played its part in contributing to the eventual Allied victory. Come and see this all relived again as I build an HO scale version of The Ma & Pa, 1943.
The photo is taken looking south from mile post 35 at Rocks, Md. The large building is the Rocks Hotel. By the tracks in front of the hotel is the shed roofed Ma & Pa station and just north of it is a covered milk platform. In the distance to the south of the station is the south milk platform. A similar photo by Charlie Mahan appears on page 138 of Hilton. Dick Bradley
