Freight Trains To Run Through Berlin Once Again

BERLIN – Freight trains are expected to return to the tracks through Berlin next month.

The Maryland & Delaware Railroad will resume freight service along the tracks between Berlin and Snow Hill as soon as a few final repairs are made, Mayor Gee William announced at a town council meeting this week. The service hasn’t operated in seven years.

“We’re all pleased to see freight rail service returning after a quite long and unexpected break,” Williams said.

Cathrin Banks, president and general counsel for the Maryland & Delaware Railroad, confirmed in an interview Wednesday that freight trains would again be passing through town in the near future.

Awesome. Now let's get passenger train service from Ocean City to Baltimore and from Cape Charles to New York City.

Some slow passenger service might be nice.

Then everyone is going to complain about the engine noise, vibrations, and warning horn noise.
