anyone made this trip? What route did you take? Looked into the Eastcoast Greenway, but 90% of this section has not been mapped...

Someone posted last year that the rode Philly to Balto mostly on route 1. Sounded like it worked.

From downtown B'more, you could do something like this to get to the Northern Central Railroad Trail (http://www.dnr.state.md.us/greenways/ncrt_trail.html) (NCR Trail):
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=42107
Follow the NCR Trail into PA. At New Freedom the trail becomes the York Heritage Trail (http://www.fallinpa.com/fallinpa/railsToTrails.jsp?section=yorkTrail). Follow the York Heritage to York, PA. From there, you should be able to take Pennsylvania Bicycle Route S (ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/bikes/state_mapS.pdf) to get close to Philly or you could follow Route S to it's termination and pick up PA Bike Route E (currently NOT off-road) which takes you south into the heart of Philly.

NCR, York Heritage Trail and bike route S would probably be the prettiest way.
More YHT info with map http://ycwebserver.york-county.org/Parks/RailTrail.htm
Route 1 is probably the shortest.
