East End of Round Top/B119.3 East End of Round Top/B119.3






At Round Top the WM had a 6,450ft. long passing siding starting at signals 119.4 and 119.5. They WM also had a train-order office here seen below pushed over on its side(today gone). There is also an old foundation along the track that was once served by the RR in the early 1900's, this was believed to be the Round Top Sand Company.


Looking west at the east end of WM's former Round Top passing siding. The WM had a telephone booth here along with signals 119.3 and 199.4. The first photo was taken on April 23, 1994 while the second was taken in March 2002 during construction of the WMRT. In mid 2002 the trail was completed and open. Here in Nov. 2002, was the former site of the telephone booth seen below. PHOTO COMING...

WM's telephone booth was in sad shape and in danger of being destroyed in 1994. Later it had been pushed over the bank along with the former siganl bases. The remains of the booth now litter the bank.

A cave entrance has been covered over along the Western Maryland right-of-way. These three photo , including the photo below show the changes that took place over the years as the trail was converted into a railtrail.
