The Maryland & Pennsylvania RR purchased 10 coaches built by A.C.F. Jackson and Sharp Works, Wilmington Del built between 1902 and 1913.
The Ma & Pa's passenger cars were originaly painted Tuscan Red with Aluminum lettering. Starting around 1914 the Ma & Pa began painting it's passenger cars in Pullman Green with chrome yellow lettering. Many of these coaches made it to the end of passenger service on the Ma & Pa in 1954.
Coach #20 has been preserved is now part of the vintage passenger car fleet at the Strasburg RailRoad. She wares Strasburg colors very similar to the Ma & Pa's original passenger paint scheme.
