Cohill/B122

Cohill




Wasn't too much in WM days at Cohill. Cohill an nearby farms was once a large apple produceing area as there were a number of orchards all over the area. The largest claimed apple orchard in the entire world was just west of here along the WM at Greenridge. This orchard was owned by the Merten family. Orchards like this one dotted the countyside. Cohill was a storage area for the produce as the cold storage was at Hancock. I have no record that the WM stopped and served any business at Cohill. The only stop would have been passenger trains.



Abandoned WM looking east into the overgrown right-of-way at Deneed Rd. Later, the WMRT had been constructed and the trees cut back.

Deep in the overgrown right-of-way looking west at a former signal location. You can see the amount of improvements that the Western Maryland Rail Trail has accomplished in Spring 2003. This hardly looks like the same location.

found the B122 milepost while riding west to Little Orleans one day. Later in 2003 I photographed the milepost again along the completed WMRT.

Overpass at the intersection of Seavolt Rd. and Deneed Rd. This photo was taken before any railtrail was began.

A shot from the cab of a WM F7 as it rolls east passing Cohill. Then later in Nov. 2002 at the same location along the WMRT.

WM right-of-way loking east along a home. The home owners have taken pride in their yard and have kept the trees cut back from the pole line. They currently use two poles as a clothes line. The second photo was taken after completion of the WMRT.

WM crossing looking east at Seavolt Rd. Later the WMRT construction had began and would soon be paved and open to public use.

looking east from Seavolt Rd. towards the West End of Round Top passing siding directly ahead.

B121 milepost along the abandoned right-of-way just east of the Seavolt Rd. crossing. Later in 2002 the milepost was repainted when the WMRT was built through here.
