About four years away from the start of CSXT, Chessie System / C&O #7568 is outside the Western Maryland Railway's Hagerstown roundhouse in May 1982. - Kodachrome slide. No photographer listed on slide mount. Collection of J.L. Adams
Jeff Hammaker: CSX start date November 1, 1980.
Jamie Adams: Yes. CSX Corporation was formed on that date in 1980, but actual operations under the entire CSX 'corporate umbrella' didn't take place until July 1, 1986. Up until that time, all the roads that made up CSX were operated as if each were separate from one another.

B&O station in Hagerstown Maryland (gone)

According to a comment, this is the Dagmar Hotel. And a Google Maps label agrees.

The above topo map indicates that the B&O used to have quite a few tracks in the downtown area. I got this aerial photo to check it out.
