This thread about the Vulcan Building

(I can't make this link clickable to save my caboose.)

Reeminds me of a one story building in downtown Baltimore that is now an athletic club.  My faulty recollection was it was a loco shop for WM or Ma & Pa, but it could have been a car shop.

I haven't figured out the right terms to google up anything relevant.

Was it Western MD or Ma & Pa or Pennsy?

Thanks Bear.   Forgot about that one, the old rails are now a great bike path into PA.  We will have to make you an honorary Baltimoron  Big Smile

There are some, whose opinions I disagree with and care even less about, who reckon that I already qualify as a moron, but in this case I’ll humbly accept the honor.WinkLaughLaugh
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

It is definitely not a Ma&Pa structure.
