Short Historical Summaries

of Miscl. Area Railroads

Many railroads criss-crossed the highlands and lowlands of Allegany County and the adjoining areas...Most are but a memory or even a tale passed on from the rugged individuals who have gone before us.  Presented here are my brief notes about a few--to be expanded as time permits and as others share information with me for posting here.  All comments and contributions accepted.  Ron Taylor-2004
