Maryland Midland grows on a lean, flexible network
Union Bridge AP The Maryland Midland Railway, centered in a Victorian red brick building once a Western Maryland station, posted October loadings of 539 car loads up about 37 percent from 1986. President Paul Denton boasts 25 percent revenue growth in two fiscal years as the railroad, with 37 miles of former Western Maryland mainline and 17 miles on state track, expands margins through smaller crews and regional markets. Denton notes near full customer proximity and a two-man crew model, while union representation won this fall. The carrier eyes expansion including the CSX line from Hagerstown to Fairfield, Pennsylvania.
