Viewing Album:  Maryland Midland's Last Run on Farquar Street, Union Bridge, MD
 
By:Glenn Anderson
Dates:9/30/2007 - 9/30/2007
Album Info:On Sept. 30, 2007 MMID made this final trip up Farquar St. much to the delight of about 40 railfans and residents of that Union Bridge street. Over a year earlier a new spur was built just outside of town which served the Lehigh Cement plant, MMID's largest customer from nearly the opposite direction. The next day the new spur was officially placed into service and Farquar Street was returned to auto traffic and the peaceful residential street it once was.
