This is Moffett! Not much here. In the later days there were only signals 110.4 and 110.5. Although not far to the east of these signals maybe 2 tenths of a mile was the former location of the westbound hot box detector signal. The hotbox detector itself was located nearly 1.7 miles to the east at Parkhead.
WMRT marker at Moffett. This area was once a road crossing that is listed on a WM track chart I have. Perhaps it was the old road to the town of Moffet and Millstone.
Looking west into a curve one half of a mile east of Moffett.
Arthur Bloch photographed this derailment in April 1970. This was in the area between Hancock and Big Pool. Pulled over on I70 climbed the bank and there was a train derailment. Hershey's chocolate everywhere. You can see the trucks that they sent to retrieve the goods and you notice the two C&O Canal Park Rangers cars on the towpath.
