 abandoned / shut down, railway bridge
This is the bridge and quarry of the Williamsport Nessle & Martinsburg Railway across the C&O Canal and Potomac River. The Williamsport, Nessle, and Martinsburg RY line came off the WM mainline at Charleton and crossed the Potomac at a place known as Miller's Bend. The line ran southward for about a mile then switch backed into the quarry. You can still see this quarry by looking across the river and the bridge piers along the canal.
