M&K Severed (ex B&O, ex Chessie, now CSX)

Go to http://tinyurl.com/6ujrm for picture of severed connection. It is a sad day indeed.

…Such a pic. is not what we railfans like to see. RoW looks to be in rather good shape at this location too…

OUCH!

Great picture,and does look like R.O.W. is very decent.

Next question: WHY?

After such a long history thats my question too why?
stay safe

?? Please explain (to a west-coaster)…where is this?

MP

Thanks for reminding me; yes I saw that. A bit further west than I can get on a day-trip from DC (made it as far as Keyser). “M&K” is not yet a memorized abbreviation.

Even to the best of my knowledge,this is still a very active line.
Other than to cut costs,why would they do something like this?

No Mark,thanks , I was not confusing it with the
main;I just couldn’t remember what was on the branch.
I just guessed it was losing them money to keep it open.
