Hancock, West Virginia to Cumberland, Maryland
Filmed during the 1990s, this video takes you on a four-season tour of the CSX main line that follows the Potomac River between Hancock, West Virginia and Cumberland, Maryland. It's a busy ex-B&O double-track main that twists its way through the spectacular valleys and hills of the Alleghenies until it reaches the highlight of the tour: the astonishing Magnolia Cutoff, which is an incredible feat of railroad engineering with four double-track tunnels, two huge bridges, massive cuts and fills, and a pair of gigantic retaining walls. A real railfan favorite. Color, 3 hours.
