[QUOTE="patd8643, post: 835841, member: 5195"]The main line of the B&O was one of the boundaries of the family farm where I was raised. Unrelated but in the 40s and 50s I remember hauling over to the tracks to watch the trains, wave at the conductors and watch them go by the limemarle pit. The Union had to control this line to get supplies to troops on the western front. I can remember my Grandfather cussing when a canon ball took the edge off his plow! Just down the road maybe 20 miles was a rail yard with turn table, an engine repair shop and several little restaurants probably just like this one. Patd[/QUOTE]
