Western Maryland Railway Thurmont - Warehouse
This section includes photos I have taken of the Western Maryland Freight House
in Thurmont, Maryland
|
On a cool evening in December 2003, I took these photos of the former WMRY right
of way in Thurmont Maryland. What I previously thought was the old WM freight
house has actually turned out to be a warehouse that received and shipped via
the WM. (Thanks for the correct, Doug!) It was getting dark, so the photos
aren't all that crisp. I'll take some additional detail photos in the future
and add them here.

Looking East
Here is the track looking east. The former warehouse is the building at about
11:00 that has six visible windows. The old train station in Thurmont used to
sit on a siding to the left of the tracks near the freight house.
|
Northwest Corner
The rear of the warehouse as seen from the western end of the tracks. Notice the
old platform-height door and the stone foundation for the old platform. Note
also the garage door at the bottom. From the looks of the foundation, there was
likely a door there originally.

Southeast Corner
The warehouse as seen from the street. The tracks heading off to the left in
this photo lead to the overpass seen in the first shot.
|
Northeast Corner
The front and side of the warehouse as seen from the eastern end of the tracks.

Looking to the West
Another shot of the front (eastern) side of the station. Note again the stone
foundation as well as the numerous doors and windows at street level.
