I have titled this list "Maryland Division"
for convenience. The Maryland Division was created 1902,
when the Baltimore & Potomac RR was merged with the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore RR, to form the
Philadelphia, Baltimore & Washington RR, and the
Division extended from FY (later "Brill" south
of Philadelphia) to Washington. Sometime thereafter, the
Maryland Division was split into the Baltimore Division
(FY to NI at North Point, near Baltimore; dispatched from
"WD" at Wilmington) and the Maryland Division
(NI to Washington; dispatched from B Office, Baltimore).
In July, 1938, the Baltimore and Maryland Divisions were
again merged, forming the Maryland Division. Information
