Along the Old Main - No. 2

The historic Old Main Line, built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (now CSX), was the first commercial railroad line in the United States, the first section opening in 1830. It diverges from the Baltimore to Washington mainline at Relay, and continues 58.5 miles as a single track (but with passing sidings) through the forests and craggy terrain of the Patapsco River Valley, through central Maryland to Point of Rocks. There, at an iconic B&O built station (*), it joins the modern mainline, the Metropolitan Branch, to head west.

Here, on a long, sweeping curve above the Patapsco, the "Old Main" passes through the town of Sykesville.

    ....very nice image of the tankers moving down the Old Mainline tracks, very sharp detail and colors, well composed on the curve with the old house on the hill....
