Among a whole bunch of loose papers that fluttered into the Maryland Rail Heritage Library recently: Invoice from the Baltimore & Ohio RR, Camden Station Ticket Agent-604, South Howard & Camden Sts., Baltimore, MD 21201: May 3 1969 To: Chesapeake Division of Railroad Enthusiasts, c/o [private individual/address] The Apple Blossom Special--May 3 1969 Round Trip Balto MD - Winchester, VA 297 Adults at $7.00 Each 2079.00 34 Children (5-11yrs) at $3.50 Each 119.00 Total Due B&ORR 2198.00 Thank you for riding B&ORR [rubberstamped "Paid 5-10-69 MGR" and handwritten "Thanks" ### end of invoice### Now, what would be the insurance alone on such a trip today? This sounds like the moral equivalent of a MARC excursion today using a MARC loco and perhaps 5-6 MARC cars (6-7 B&O 60-seaters for comfort, a concession car, etc.). Anyone remember/know exactly what this excursion's consist was? LNER4472-NOSPAM-@bcpl.net |

Most trips on B&O lines in that era were run with RDCs. National Capital Trolley Museum made several trips from Silver Spring to Wilmington & Western, and one or both regional NRHS grousp ran several trips to Harpers Ferry on the Old Main Line with RDCs in the early 1970s. Wesley |
