Duke,
Here is some info I previously obtained via internet after taking my first shots of this train some months earlier.
The Maryland and Delaware Railroad Company (reporting mark MDDE) is a
Class III short-line railroad, formed in 1977 to operate several branch
lines of the former Penn Central Railroad in both Maryland and Delaware,
USA. These branches were omitted from the system plan for Conrail in
1976 and would have been discontinued without state subsidies. As an
alternative to the higher cost of subsidizing Conrail as operator of the
branch lines, the Maryland and Delaware governments selected the
Maryland and Delaware Railroad Company (MDDE) to serve as the designated
operator.
The railroad did not own any of the track it uses until 2000 when it
acquired a line between Frankford, Delaware and Snow Hill, Maryland,
from the Snow Hill Shippers Association. Today, the railroad operates on
120 miles of track and runs out of a restored station in Federalsburg,
Maryland.
Cheers,
Brian

I would say that engine has had some years of service. It doesn't look "modern" to me.
Nice clear anaglyph.
