The Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail (TCB), formerly and popularly known as the Northern Central Railroad (NCR) Trail, is a rail trail that runs along a former Northern Central Railway corridor in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. The trail extends 19.7 miles from Ashland Road in Cockeysville to the Mason–Dixon line, where it becomes the York County Heritage Rail Trail and continues to York, Pennsylvania.^[2]

The trail is 10 feet (3.0 m) wide with a stone dust surface. The majority of the trail runs along the Gunpowder River and Beetree Run.^[2] Popular activities on the trail include horseback riding, jogging, walking, hiking, fishing and biking. It is open to the public from sunrise to sunset on all days of the year. The trail is also pet-friendly as long as the pet is on a leash.

The TCB makes up a segment of the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000 mile long system of trails connecting Maine to Florida.
