View of the former Western Maryland Railway Bridge over Maryland Route 550
(looking down 550 towards Thurmont). This is the route I take back
to Thurmont from Mainline Hobby in Blue Ridge Summit, PA via Sabillasville and
(IIRC) Highfield. This would be a great modeling scene with the Owen's
Creek to the right, the road snaking underneath, and the WM right of
way crossing high overhead. The WM crosses 550 twice in this area. In
April 2004 I was lucky enough to ride over these tracks on a rare-mileage NRHS
trip. Photo taken August 9, 2003 by Pete.
Former WM bridge over Owen's Creek at mile marker 619 along Maryland route
550. Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like ties, tie plates and rail joint
bars have all been pilfered from this location. Photo taken August 9, 2003 by
Pete.
Owen's creek winds its way down to Thurmont and is
the creek that runs under the covered bridge at Roddy Road.
Rocks high above the mainline leaving Cumberland and Ridgeley. The Western
Maryland is fully of beautiful scenery like this. Photo taken by Pete on May 1,
2004.
