The last update added tenant- and share-croppers (no source given). Offhand, I'd expect that type of mix to be less prevalent in a relatively small area such as being discussed. Also, the sentence refers to (implying they're names of farms) Mattapony, Susquehanna which are names for places elsewhere in Maryland. Tedickey (talk) 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
According to the story 'Brake Shoes Aweigh' by E. John Long from the March 1953 issue of Trains & Trave; (Pages 24-26), the railroad was diesel powered by 1952 and employed two Baldwin road locomotives and a 3rd Whitcomb yard locomotive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.1.161 (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

This page seemed a bit one sided like most pages about military installations, seemed to ooze all military glory. I added a section of env contamination, since this is a heavily contaminated area, a superfund and there appears no end to remedies in the near future- 90 years after it all began...

This source does not list all PAX Naval Air Base associated air crashes. For example, I was living south of the base when a fighter jet went down in a wooded area within a few miles of me in the summer of 1981 or 1982. The pilot was reported to have sacrificed himself in order to avoid crashing into residential homes. This crash is not listed in the linked source.
Also, the source lists crashes of planes that were bound for PAX River. However in 1966 I, along with my father, witnessed a midair collision between two fighter jets that were headed to PAX River NAS. This double crash is not listed in the source either.
If anyone has time at some point, perhaps these crashes (and others not listed in the linked source) can be found elsewhere online.
