A CSX double stack intermodal train heads East under the former Western Maryland Salisbury Viaduct.  

While the Western Maryland Railroad was a superior route in comparison to the B&O with respect to grades and travel time, the Western Maryland lacked a critical second track, ultimately leading to its abandonment. Now part of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP Trail), this former Western Maryland right of way is 'preserved' as a premier bike bike trail.
