Evergreen Evergreen view looking southwest showing the coal office which was located on West Cold Spring Lane, Baltimore City. The track in the foreground is part of the coal trestle which was elevated at its end at Cold Spring Lane. Photo source: M&PRR files - Insurance Photo- February, 1940. Maryland and Pennsylvania RR timetables listed the station as Number 3, located 2.6 miles north from Baltimore and 74.6 miles south from York. There were a few commercial structures noted at this locale. Among them a coal trestle built in 1915 (extended from 114 feet to 140 feet in 1929), the coal yard and oil storage tank (completed in December 1935) with an office, a garage, pump house, truck scales, wood shed and coal box. A 10 x 75 foot passenger platform was located north of Cold Spring Lane. A number of industries were served here as well - Roland Park Townsite, Operators Coal Co., J.E. Timmerman Coal Co., Hudson Cement & Supply Co., Arundel Lumber Co., and other similar coal and oil companies. There were numerous sidings at Evergreen over time - Track A (to Roland Park Townsite), Track B (team track and coal yard), Track B1 (coal trestle), Track C (trestle, in 1918 listed as serving Hudson Cement and Supply Co.) and Track D (lumber yard spur #2). Of note is the installation, in June of 1931, of alternate flashing crossing lights at Cold Spring Lane grade crossing while retiring the classic crossing bell previously installed at that location. Clearly this locale just north of Baltimore (until 1918, when it was annexed) was a very busy place during the early years of operation by the M&P. Frederick, Gary, Focus On...
