Drama of Delmarva - a photo on Flickriver

Drama of Delmarva

            I've been asked a few times why I focus so much on the Maryland & Delaware when there's other action nearby that's closer. Part of the reason is the RS-3ms used on most lines, of course, and the fact that most foamers can't be bothered to travel out here in significant numbers. But part of it, too, is what one commenter called "the drama of Delmarva;" the frequent low clouds, straightaways punctuated by occasional hidden dips and bridges, and in the winter, acres of open farm fields that provide a sense of scale.
Here, former Delaware River Railroad 1823, nee-Winchester & Western 823, is shoving empty propane tankers to the beginning of Delmarva Central-controlled trackage in Frankford, on the MDDE's Selbyville line. As recently as 2020, MDDE would run light from their engine house in Selbyville to the Pep-Up facility, but with CF-7 2628 out of service 1823 is stored at the Pep-Up plant, resulting in less than two miles of trackage seeing weekly use on a line that used to host several trains to Snow Hill and beyond.
