Baltimore Maryland
Day 1
We arrived at the hotel at 9:00 AM. It is literally just off of
I-95 as you will soon see. So at least the hotel is not a truck stop, but it IS
attached to the bus depot. Who knew? The truck stop is across the street. The
hotel is very nice though. You can walk right to the 24 hour food
court without going outside that has KFC and other fine dining establishments.
Pop math quiz…
Bus Depot + Donna + Vacation =?
You really don’t want to know but the stab wounds have almost
stopped bleeding.
The view from our room on the 10th
floor.
Yes that is I-95
Tuesday Tour
Maryland Midland Railroad & Western Maryland Museum
Note the “Mad Max” Style 44 Tonner
Western Maryland Railroad Museum
After the tour and dinner I helped Don & Robin off load. The
selling hall is on the 2nd floor.
The loading dock and freight elevator is closest to the kitchen
so all of the SHS stock was carted
through the kitchen. I thought it was like a
Soprano’s Style Mob hit coming in through the kitchen.
Day 2
Donna went off to the ladies tour of Havre De Grace Maryland.
Besides being hot out she had a good time. She is not one to take
photos.
I went off to Washington DC Metro and Brentwood Shops tour.

Dan Vandermause’s B&O layout C 1960s
We will get him to backdate to the transition era after running
my EM-1 & Baldwin Sharks!
After getting my wings on a borrowed Garmin GPS unit, we wound up
at the Ellicott City B&O
Museum, not the Mount Claire Shops downtown. You must obey the
GPS until it is really obvious
you are not even close to where you wanted
to go! My passengers took the mishap very well…
