Hamburger Junction was a legendary train-themed restaurant just north of Baltimore. It was located in Carney, Maryland at the intersection of Harford & Joppa Roads. The restaurant opened in 1956 and closed in 1965 [1]. The owner, Natt Begun, combined his love of trains with his innate creativity. The result was a train-themed dining experience that included entrees delivered onboard a model electric train. He endeared himself to local kids with an array of creative sundaes, and by giving free ice cream to any child who presented a good report card. Mr. Begun knew his market. He offered dine-in, carry-out, and car service with car hops [https://menus.nypl.org/menu_pages/52501]. Something of a renaissance man, before coming to Baltimore Mr. Begun pioneered the food truck concept in New York. Relying on his World War II experience, he converted a surplus army bus into the Sad Sack food truck. He then parked it outside the employment office in New York, a busy location in the years immediately following the war! But the handwriting was on the wall. Fast-food franchises were appearing, the market was shifting, and the land under the restaurant had increased in value as the community grew. So due to both business and family reasons, Mr. Begun knew when to pull the plug. Hamburger Junction is now just a memory, a fond memory to many.
