Favorite railfanning places:
In the last TBT post, I had railfanning pics from the Sandpatch/Mance area, Ex- B&O. In this segment we will look at another section of the B&O that is in the remote area of West Virginia and Maryland. This area is along the Potomac River between Cumberland, MD and Hancock, WV and some of the more tranquil and beautiful areas you will ever go. Here are some shots from October 2005/Spring 2006.

| One of the older CSX paint schemes leads an autorack westbound through Hansrote, WV. |
 |
| A veteran SD40-2 leads a manifest westbound through a foggy Hansrote. |
 |
| Another westbound in the sun this time coming out of Randolph tunnel. There are 4 tunnels on the Magnolia Cutoff, all within a about 4 miles of each other. Notice my 4-wheeler on the bottom left. The best way to get around! |
 |
| Another westbound manifest splits the signals at Doe Gully. Believe all the B&O CPL's are gone now. |
 |
| An eastbound coal train crosses Kessler bridge into the Kessler tunnel. This is the Potomac River. The train will go from WV, into MD then back into MD in this spot. |
 |
| Remember your in the middle of nowhere. Lots of river retreats are along the tracks. |
 |
| The westbound Capital Limited crosses Kessler bridge back into WV. This photo show the Kessler bridge, Graham tunnel through MD, the Magnolia bridge and the signals in WV at Magnolia. |
