The Central Pennsylvania Railroad
The Central Pennsylvania Railroad (CPRR) was created by Bob Martin in 1973. The concept of the CPRR is that it is a privately owned railroad located in Central Pennsylvania with very close ties with the PRR. So close that the CPRR logo is the PRR keystone and the CPRR uses PRR locomotives and other equipment and the PRR has unreimbursable track rights on the CPRR.
The CPRR has entered into an operating agreement with the Western Maryland Railway and uses several pieces of WM equipment.
The CPRR generates and receives a considerable amount of freight traffic, operates local passenger train service, and is a bridge route for freight and passenger and freight traffic.
Sadly, Bob passed away. Through his estate auction and other efforts, the "Penn Family Lines" lives on...
