Cove Point Branch Subdivision was built sometime in late 1880s to 1890s. It ran mostly as a freight line from Eagle Harbor to Cove Point Harbor down by the bay. It was built to specifically accommodate the modern tug industry and much easier to transfer loads unlike the harbor at Eagle Harbor.

Unfortunately the line closed down at the same time as the AL&P in 1918 as before November a catastrophic disaster with a tramp steamer carrying munitions was set a blaze destroying the harbor entirely because of a sabetour who was roaming around where he shouldn't be during the end of the first war.

Now it's just a mini port no longer major as it once was and the line leading to it runs along the coast once you enter the Calvert area. The tracks here aren't safe from the waters or elements as it might end up just like the tracks along the coast in Something in the air from that one Thomas series 5 episode.

Atlantic & Capital Railroad Biographies: Lawrence (CBRy/EWRy No. 11), Mary (CBRy/EWRy No. 12), & Columbia (EWRy No. 103)

Lawrence & Mary were built between the 1880s-90s and worked from the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in later years. They were sold off to the Chesapeake Beach Railway in 1933 when survived into the East Washington Railway era from 1935-1948. Mary was sold to Woodstock after '48 while Lawrence was buried and his tender was sacrificed to scrap.

Columbia was built in 1944 to work the Washington Terminal at Union Station in DC before being sold to East Washington in 1968. She worked the like for a good 10 years until the line closed in 1978. She was moved out of state for 34 years.

Mary was found when A&CR bought the Woodstock Workshop in the 80s and 90s. Lawrence was discovered in the early 2000s during the blue line DC extension era in the early 2000s under Chaney Enterprises.

Columbia was found in poor condition in 2013 and brought to Woodstock to be overhauled after being donated to the A&CR in her damaged frame state.

Lawrence was given a Royal Blue Livery, Mary became Tuscan Red and Columbia stayed in her green East Washington livery.

Atlantic & Capital Railroad Biographies: The Little Joe's (B&O No. 96-99)

Jacklyn (96), Jerry (97), Joey (98), & Jocelyn (99) were built in November 1912 to work the B&O Pratt Street line. Jacklyn & Jocelyn worked there for about 12 years before being converted into tender engines (from C-16 to C-16A) and moved to Philadelphia in 1926.

Jerry and Joey stayed on Pratt Street for 25 more years while the sisters were in Philadelphia for 18 and 19 years. Jocelyn was withdrawn in 1944 while Jacklyn was withdrawn in 1945. Jerry and Joey were renumbered 897 and 898 in 1950 and were immediately sold in 1951 to work in other industries or other properties for 34 years.

The twins were then moved to the Atlantic & Capital Railroad in 1985 when they were reviving the Annapolis, Laurel and Patuxent line (started in 1979).

The sisters arrived 2 years later in March 1987. They were saved from a hidden spot in Philly with two other engines and ended up being found when Conrail was cleaning out everything. The Reaids came in and saved them before they could be scrapped.

Now they work the Port Covington and Locust Point area since A&CR bought off both old properties when they were being let go.

Jerry and Joey stayed B&O black while their sisters were given green liveries. Jerry and Joey were given 0-4-2 configurations while the sisters received a columbian 2-4-2 configuration.

Atlantic & Capital Railroad Biographies: Madison (AL&P No. 4).

Madison was built on March 21st, 1873 and became the first premier express engine for the line when they first established the express service from the Junction to Truman Harbor. The service wind down around the late 1900s and finally went before the line closed in 1918.

Madison survived through preservation well into the A&CR era. She's now assigned to smaller assignments but did gain upgrades during her later years. She was brown her whole life before being green during her early A&CR years until finally being Royal Blue in the late 2010s.

She attends to many events whenever she can and she's special due to her association and sibling dynamic with William Mason.

Atlantic & Capital Railroad Biographies: AL&P No. 2 (4-2-0), AL&P No. 3 (0-6-0), AL&P No. 4 (Original) (2-4-0) & Niya (AL&P No. 5) (2-6-0).

AL&P No. 2 was built sometime in the 1830-40s and arrived around the time AL&P opened. It wasn't until after the Civil War he became the main local passenger engine.

AL&P No. 3 was buily between the 1840s-50s and arrived sometime around the beginning of AL&P too and he was the switcher/utility engine of the group.

AL&P No. 4 was built in the 1830s and arrived after the Civil War sometime around or before 1867. She was the main mix traffic locomotive for about a few years until 1872.

Niya (AL&P No. 5) was built sometime in the 19th century and arrived around the turn of the century between 1899 and 1900. She was around during the final years of the line as the new mix traffic engine, serving in the war like the other engines in 1916 until the line closed in 1918.

1871 was the last time everyone saw no. 4. She suffered a mechanical catastrophic disaster that put her out of service and scrapped. She was later replaced by Madison (New AL&P No. 4) later the same year.

No. 2 and No. 3 were sold off after 1918 and returned during the A&CR era. They were hunted down until found basically.

Niya stayed with Madison and both were preserved well into the A&CR era.

Atlantic & Capital Railroads Character Biographies: Lady (AL&P No. 1)

Lady was built in 1846 at the Reaids local Annapolis workshop. She helped build AL&P and ran the line once opened in 1857. Overtime she began to show poor maintenance and was eventually sidelined after No. 5 joined the crew after 1900.

She sat in the sheds for years even after AL&P closed in 1918 until 1979 when the younger family members of the Reaids discovered her in the old sheds when restoring the junction. She was restored to her former glory but she isn't able to move around as much as she use to now. She doesn't do long runs like the other engines and mostly sits at the junction from now on.
