The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad (reporting mark MPA), familiarly known as the "Ma and Pa", was an American short-line railroad between York and Hanover, Pennsylvania, formerly operating passenger and freight trains on its original line between York and Baltimore, Maryland, from 1901 until the 1950s. The Ma and Pa was popular with railfans in the 1930s and 1940s for its antique equipment and curving, picturesque right-of-way through the hills of rural Maryland and Pennsylvania. Reflecting its origin as the unintended product of the merger of two 19th-century narrow gauge railways, the meandering Ma and Pa line took 77.2 miles (124 km) to connect Baltimore and York, although the two cities are only 45 miles (72 km) apart in a straight line.

  • 馬里蘭與賓夕法尼亞鐵路(Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad,常被簡稱為「Ma and Pa」),是位於美國賓夕法尼亞州約克郡與漢諾瓦之間的鐵路,但於1901年到1950年代之間,其客運與貨運營運範圍為賓夕法尼亞州約克與馬里蘭州巴爾的摩之間。在1930年代與1940年代之間,馬里蘭與賓夕法尼亞鐵路以其古老的設備以及行經馬里蘭與賓夕法尼亞兩州之山丘鄉野間的蜿蜒路線,於鐵道愛好者中享有盛名。馬里蘭與賓夕法尼亞鐵路於約克至巴爾的摩之間的路線長為77.2英里(124公里;兩地之間直線距離僅有45英里(72公里)),反映出本鐵路本為兩條窄軌距鐵路不經意合併所成的歷史。 馬里蘭與賓夕法尼亞鐵路的客運服務於1954年8月31日停止,從巴爾的摩至馬里蘭-賓夕法尼亞州州界以南的的路線在1958年6月廢棄。到了1984年,其餘的原始路線大多也已廢棄。馬里蘭與賓夕法尼亞鐵路在1980年代取得原賓夕法尼亞鐵路於約克至漢諾瓦之間長19英里(31公里)的路線,現由營運。 (zh)
