The Delaware
& Chesapeake Garden Railroad was established in December 2003 in Clayton, DE
less than a mile from the original branch line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
that ran from Clayton, Delaware to Easton, MD (later Maryland & Delaware
and the Chesapeake Railroad).
The Delaware
& Chesapeake Garden Railroad is the backyard G Scale creation of Jay and
Taylor Davis, a father & son combination that enjoy not only the outdoors,
but railroading in general. Please
feel free to stop by and visit us at one of our special open house events and
by appointment!
