So, BaltACD...if you and the good citizens of Maryland woke up tomorrow morning and the Hagerstown and Frederick Rwy was there intact, I am 100% sure it would be a very good thing. Regular and frequent service would displace a lot of auto traffic and would provide reliable and assured parcel and courier deliveries. In addition to providing good employment it would also be a societal benefit. 

Too bad these systems could not survive their times because I believe if somehow they upgraded and modernized through the years they would be a very integral part of these communities. Their time may come yet again, in a new form, but I firmly think that is in the future.
