The Frederick and Pennsylvania Line Railroad Museum, Inc. (FPL) organization does a lot of research work. Some of the work we do is for other organizations to further their preservation projects and mission.
Some of the research is done just because we are curious and enjoy the process and discovery.
Many subjects we have researched have grown to become accurate history documentation. We've searched for a safe and secure place to archive this written and photographic material.
At this time, we believe Wikipedia provides the best way to preserve this work and have it available to the world.
Below are the links to the Wikipedia contributions we researched, wrote and documented. We strongly believe the history and information is accurate and back it up with thorough documentation in each Wiki article. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Enjoy!
Several new projects in the works now, check back for updates.
