Carvey G. Davis Jr.

I knew Carvey Davis from 1954 until his passing in 2014 and had many enjoyable experiences with him. Ken Van Horn

Carvey's watching us. May he always be happy up there.

I met Carvey in 1955 when I joined the Baltimore Society of Model Engineers, so he was a friend and mentor for 59 years. It's hard to think 7 years has passed since we lost him. So fitting that he's buried in Loudon Park, the cemetery with it's own streetcar line. One of out Saturday outings was a tour of the route and remnants of that line in 1959, 30 years after its abandonment. Carvey had ridden it in its last year as a 5-year-old and had vivid memories. It was not until his passing that I...

Carvey's legacy lives on at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum in the form of car 7303 which he donated to the Museum. Many of our members recall the good times we had with Carvey.

I'm very sorry to see this. Carvey and I walked a lot of track together when he was an FRA inspector and I was a young foreman with Conrail. He was full of information and we had many a long conversations as we walked many miles of track in the old Philadelphia division.

Carvey was a great friend. I met him at the Baltimore Society of Model Engineers decades ago. He attended major events, like the annual Birthday Party, regularly. Always dressed snappily, always genteel, Carvey had a story. What a delight it was to talk with him. I learned much about trolleys and modeling from Carvey - he was always willing to share his knowledge and answer my questions. He invited me to see his layout and run trains, which I did. I really miss him.

Carvey was very knowledgeable about Baltimore's streetcars. I recall riding with him on the #15 line. I enjoyed hearing his stories about his days as a streetcar operator.

Simply put, Carvey Davis was SPECIAL.

Carvey was a great and long time supporter of the Streetcar Museum and he will be missed very much. He joined the Museum in the early 1970's and was member number 354: he was a great guy, always smiling and ready to help. The Museum held a testimonial for him on May 4, 2013 and the picture is of him cutting the cake that day assisted by myself. We all had a great time and enjoyed his stories of his days as a motorman for the Transit Company.
