Along the Old Main - No. 5
A long train of tanker cars rumbles through the grade crossing at
Sykesville, Maryland on the historic Old Main Line of the CSX.
The Old Main, originally built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, runs through the craggy valley
of the Patapsco River, from Relay, south of Baltimore to Point of Rocks, where it joins the
Metropolitan Branch from Washington, heading west to West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
The Old Main is used exclusively by freight trains, except for a very short stretch
which is used by MARC commuter trains from Washington to Frederick, Maryland.
