The depot was across the river from downtown.

The bridge across the wye and Casselman River was a connection between the B&O and Western Maryland.

It must have been built after 1908 or I think it would show in the photo at the top. This is the oldest topo map I could find, it it already existed.

The branch to the North goes to Johnstown.
