Q370 eastbound across a long fill near MP 23.5
Title:  Q370 eastbound across a long fill near MP 23.5
Description:  B&O’s Old Main Line sub has always been noted for tight curves, grades & tunnels. The early 20th century realignment resulted in more tunnels and fills to minimize difficult curves and speed traffic. In the areas I’ve explored on the eastern side of the grade up to Mount Arey the railroad is a real work of art. All along the river valley old grade alighments consiting of fills, cuts, & bridge abutments abound. They tell an interesting story when especially whem compaired with the new alignment with longer and higher fills wider cuts resulting in shallower curves and newer stone culverts. /DL

CSX 5217 Leading Q217
Title:  CSX 5217 Leading Q217
Description:  By my count there are 9 tunnels over the 55 odd miles of the Old Main Line Sub between Relay and Point of Rocks, Maryland. At just over 1000 feet Dorsey Tunnel is one of the longer ones. These scenes were shot on a cool Friday morning about 11 AM in early Spring after a 3 mile walk through the Patapsco Valley State Park. Q217 has been a regular mid-day visitor to the OML when it isn’t routed via the Captiol and Metropolitan subdivisions through Washington DC. /DL

Between Two Tunnels.
Title:  Between Two Tunnels.
Description:  The camera is near MP 19.7 on the Old Main Line Subdivision. The coal train just exited Davis Tunnel to the west, then crossed the Patapsco River (just behind the camera) and drifted eastbound into Dorsey Tunnel. CSXT 96 & 35 provided the giddyapp with 125 loaded hoppers paying the bills. A ballast cleaner must have just passed over this track given the neat pile of dirty stone in the foreground of these photos. /DL

Between Two Tunnels.
Title:  Between Two Tunnels.
Description:  The camera is near MP 19.7 on the Old Main Line Subdivision. The coal train exited Davis Tunnel to the west, crossed the Patapsco River and drifted eastbound into Dorsey Tunnel. CSXT 96 & 35 provided the giddyapp with 125 loaded hoppers paying the bills. A ballast cleaner must have just passed over this track given the neat pile of dirty stone in the foreground of these photos. /DL

Still in service...
Title:  Still in service...
Description:  Near MP 20.5 on the Old Main Line Subdivision a mile or so east of Woodstock I came across this interesting rather large B&O stone culvert. CSX has stablized both portals and maintains two CWR tracks over the arch. The Old Main Lines main track and the 1.9 mile Davis passing siding. If Ive read the lay of the adjacent park land in the area this stone work likely pre-dates the c1905 realignment. Looking at the ballast Id hazard a guess that the track today is several feet above the origional grade. /DL
