From the small print in the sign-Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail

Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail
The Northern Central Railroad began operation in 1832. The railroad was designed to service the growing Baltimore, York and Harrisburg industries. During the 140 years of operation, the NCR had 146 stops, 22 of which were in Maryland.

In 1984, the railroad was converted into the NCR trail under the supervision of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Over the past 20 years the trial has developed into a popular recreational destination due to the help of volunteers and from the greatest believer and advocate for the trail, Dr. Torrey C. Brown. In honor of Dr. Brown's overwhelming support for the trail it was renamed the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail in 2007
