Maryland Jct. Shops/C1.8
Maryland Jct. Shops/C1.8







Two aerial photos of what was left of the shops at Maryland Jct. You can still see where the roundhouse was located in these aerial shots. I would guess these photos were taken in the 1980's, because by 1990 all the tracks in the shop area had been removed. Plus there still appears to be cars parked on the tracks.


A bird's-eye view of the Maryland Jct. shops and engine house in the 1950's. Imagine living in one of those homes behind MY Tower, guess you would either love or hate it. Notice the WM 4-8-2 Potomac's in the roundhouse stored waiting to be leased to the B&O. That lease never came, so they were scrapped. Looks like to Witcomb diesels also parked next to the roundhouse.

Some WM locomotives wait for their next assignment after having been serviced. (1975/1973)

The abandoned WM shop building at Maryland Jct. was still in good shape on April 26, 2001. This building is owned by CSX and is scheduled for demolition.

A view inside the shop building. When this photo was taken in March 2002 the building was being used by the local kids as a skate park. The Chessie System logo was found on one of the walls in a hallway.

Some more shop buildings here at Maryland Jct in 1998. In 2001 one of the shops had already been torn down. The remaining building was the commisary. I got a chance to look inside this building and it is a real mess, the basement is almost completely filled with water.

A WM train off the Connellsville Sub lead by GP35 No. 3579 passes by the Maryland Jct Shop complex as it heads for Knobmount Yard. The train will receive another crew before it heads east to Hagerstown. Today this location is the end of the track. The WM wye is the track that curves off to the right. (photo taken on 8-5-72 by an unknown person)

The end of the track at Maryland Jct. This short stretch was left to turn the WMSR steam locomotive. (4/98)

WM road crossing at the B164.3. This track and two others, once lead to Maryland Jct. and then east to Hagerstown. Today the track is the east leg of the wye.
