Virginia and Maryland Railroad

The Virginia and Maryland Railroad Company (reporting mark VAMD) was a Class III short-line railroad that ran trains on the 96-mile (154 km) Pocomoke Secondary rail line, interchanging with the Norfolk Southern Railway at both ends. This was the former New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad line on the Delmarva Peninsula between Pocomoke City, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia. It took over operations from Conrail on March 30, 1977 when the Accomack-Northampton Transportation District Commission (A-NTDC) leased the line from the estate of the bankrupt Penn Central. It ceased operations in 1981 and was then replaced by the Eastern Shore Railroad.
