Description

Hancock, West Virginia to Cumberland, Maryland.

In the early 1990s, Iron Horse America documented CSX railroading along the historic Baltimore & Ohio mainlines in the Allegheny Mountains. The result is a four-volume video collection featuring over eleven hours of captivating footage.

Volume 1, released on VHS in 1994, takes you on an extensive tour of the CSX mainline following the Potomac River between Hancock, West Virginia, and Cumberland, Maryland. This busy double-track route winds through the stunning Allegheny valleys and hills.

Highlights include the impressive Magnolia Cutoff, showcasing four double-track tunnels, two massive bridges, and extensive engineering marvels that allow passage through the Green Ridge. This picturesque region is a favorite among railfans for its beautiful scenery and active train traffic.
