Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: View of loading basin area of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at Williamsport, Maryland, USA. Looking northwest (upstream). This site was the western terminus of the Western Maryland Railroad from 1873 until 1906, when the main rail line was extended west to Cumberland, Maryland; subsequently Williamsport became a branch line. Rail cars are being loaded with coal and lumber. The Potomac River is seen on the left. Just beyond the loading basin, the canal passes through an aqueduct (built 1834) over Conococheague Creek. |
