![]() The WM had a small roundhouse and a turntable here at Cherry Run. After the fire, the WM built a wye in its place to turn locomotives. CSX train D721 comes down the WM near the former site of the roundhouse as it arrives at Cherry Run. The train will continue a short distance to the signals and interlocking at Miller Tower. One at the tower the train will switch over to B&O rails and continue to Cumberland. (thanks to Mike Yetter and Warren Hart for the photo)Ī very old photo taken from the WM at Cherry Run. The Cherry Run station is in the distance where a WM train can be seen. WM's roundhouse and turntable are on the right and the B&O mainline is on the left.ĬSX train G416 is westbound heading up the WM connection at Cherry Run about the same location as the old photo above. This train is a Wheeling & Lake Erie RR grain train, headed for Hagerstown. ![]() Once at Hagerstown the train will continue on Norfolk Southern (N&W) to the ports at Norfolk, VA. ![]() Trains such as this were very common later in WM days as the N&W had trackage rights over the WM between Hagerstown and Connellsville. WM SD35 7435 leads a WM train off the WM West Sub passing signal 106.2 as it enters Cherry Run.
