McKenzie, MD: B&O Junction (CO) Tower: Mainline vs. Patterson Creek Cutoff

(Satellite)

The other end of the Patterson Creek Cutoff was the FN Tower.

Tower Road was moved since this 1946 aerial photo was taken. Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BxWpVjEkXwkJ5Tuq6 [ AR1CA0000020027]
Darren Reynolds: Dennis DeBruler Thank you!!!! That's a different way of looking at McKenzie

  1. Priceless photo! I've been to the site (2021) but no trace of anything except the CSX main thru there.
