Modeled by Ed Sumner, The Maryland
and West Virginia represents mountain railroading in Eastern West Virginia
and Western Maryland in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Like most
railroads in that part of Appalachia, the M&WV features coal and lumber
operations. While the Maryland and West Virignia is a "private road" railroad,
most of the locomotives and rolling stock are from the partial owner of
the M&WV, the Western Maryland Railway.
