Unlisted. Unissued/cancelled. "The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad (PW&B) was an American railroad company itself a result of merger of four small lines dating from the earliest days of American railroading in the late 1820s and early 1830s, that operated from 1836, until being bought by a larger regional line in 1881, with a merger into a longer Northeast Corridor railway in 1902. It built the first rail line south from Philadelphia into The South. Founded in 1831 as the Philadelphia and Delaware County Rail-Road Company, the PW&B had within six years changed its name and merged with three other state-chartered railroads in three Middle Atlantic states to create a single line between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland. In 1881, the PW&B came under the control of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), the larger one of then two dominant rail.line companies in the Northeast United States." from wikipedia.
