The Pennsylvania town of Fulton is small but full of vitality in the mid-1950’s. It receives passenger service from the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad. Number 6, a Bachmann 4- 4-0, pulls into the station on its daily run (left). Kingsview Paving, a local company, has recently given the team track lot another coat of sealer, and the guys at the platform have a nice, new pickup truck, but they have not figured out a way to put that big crate in it.

Also served by the railroad is a fuel dealer, farm supply and a furniture factory with its boiler house and shipping dock.
