The last run of the FM&P
Posted by NevinW on Monday, February 19, 2007 10:50 AM

Yesterday the Fairmont, Morgantown and Pittsburgh division of the B&O had it last operations session.  About 9 fellow model railroaders participated with about a total of 14 trains run in the 3 hour session.  2 passenger trains, 2 locals, and one M&K turn.  A number of coal drags were seen.  Overall this model railroad functioned as it was designed and I think eveyrone had a good time.  A bunch of photographs were taken.  I'll try to post a few when I get them.  It was a good layout but it is about to be history.  :(  

After the session ended, the buildings were either sold off or donated to the our model railroad club many of the cars and a few engines were sold.  Soon, significant amounts of B&O and Western Maryland HO equipment will be showing up on ebay as funds will be needed to build the V&T or LV&T.    -  Nevin
