The Warwick Railway ran the leftover stub of a trolley line for freight...about a mile, in Rhode Island; it was merged into Providence & Worcester several years back. South of Baltimore is the Curtis Bay Railroad. It was[is] a common carrier railroad owned by Davison Chemical Co. which also served other customers. At one time they had their own steam locos, but for many years they leased a B&O switcher, usually an SW-1. I used to work with the last prior-right Curtis Bay man, who is long dead. The CBRR showed up in old railroad lists, but began to rely more and more on B&O crewmen, clerical and mechanical help. Today, the CBRR is switched by the CSX crew working the Marley Neck Branch job...they have about 3/4 mile of track. At one time, a famous customer of theirs was Streigal Supply & Equipment, the used loco dealer where the ex-Reading steamers were rescued for Ross Roland's Freedom Train.
