Western Maryland Hagerstown Hotshot LEGACY Set In 1971 Alco FA's were a vanishing sight across North America. Railfans flocked to the Western Maryland where four units were still working out their final years on the railroad. The only Alco cab units on the roster, the WM ordered four FA-2s in 1941 because EMD models weren't readily available. By the late 1960s, the four found themselves operating mostly out of Hagerstown, Maryland on freights as well as helper service on Williamson Hill. Only one received the "Circus" paint scheme before they were leased to the Reading and then sold in 1972. Their story didn't end there - all four became power cars on the Long Island where railfans would again celebrate the "last of the FA's" decades later. We pay tribute to the Wild Mary in its final and most colorful years in this new set which includes a pair of powered FA-2s, 60' Boxcar, 50' TOFC flatcar with trailer, 100-ton hopper and Northeast style caboose. All of the cars would have been right at home in the Hagerstown area at the time, whether coming off an "Alpha Jet" connection with the Reading or a load of limestone out of Birdsboro bound for Sparrows Point.
