The Emons-controlled Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad acquired of a former PRR branch line between York and Hanover, Pennsylvania in 1976 from Penn Central. In December 1999, Emons merged its M&P subsidiary with another area short-line, Yorkrail, forming the York Railway. In 2002, Genesee and Wyoming gained control of the York Railway, including the former M&P Railroad trackage between York–Hanover. The York Railway currently serves 40 online rail customers and connects with the Norfolk Southern and CSX railroads. However the former PRR Hanover branch from the village of Bair to Hanover is out of service since the mid to late 2000s a small portion is used to serve a BAE Systems factory in Bair every now and then. The out of service section from Bair to Hanover will be removed sometime in 2021 to become a rail trail.
