Blue Ridge Trolley: The Hagerstown & Frederick Railway

Fascinating history of the Hagerstown & Frederick Railway in the Allegheny region of Maryland. Begun as an amalgamation of several smaller electric railways, the line never really prospered but it created fond memories among its riders and lasted until 1947. But although the railway declined, the electric utility branch prospered and grew into the dominant electric company in a four-state area -- the Potomac Edison Co. (now FirstEnergy). This is a loving look at a trolley system that served Maryland for over 50 years. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With equipment rosters and maps. Decorative end papers showcase a 2 page map of the system. 144 pages with index.
