Route Name - SandpatchVersion - 1.0 / Mid-Late 2002Description - Sandpatch is one of the most storied mountain crossings in the east. The B&O conquered the Alleganies in the mid 1800's. At one point the line was largely triple tracked becasue of the heavy traffic volume the route saw. The line begins from the historic town of Cumberland Maryland and passes through the Cumberland Narrows before making the climb to the summitt. Route also includes some trackage and rolling stock from rival Western Maryland which often ran near B&O tracks. Over the years, much of the 3rd rail has been removed, and seen the B&O give way to Chessie, Conrail, and finally CSX.Route installs by inserting CD and clicking on set up icon.PrototypicalFreight/Passenger (Amtrak Capitol Limited)Era - Set in 1985Location - Cumberland Maryland to Rockwood Pa, the B&O's crossing of the Alleghany Mountains.Branches - 6 Branches, including Western Maryland branches totalling about 15-20 milesSingle/Double Track - Mainline is all double tracked and in some portions, a 3rd siding is still in place, mostly for storage of empty and loaded coal hoppers from the two mines served.Yards - 1, CumberlandScenery - Complete with heavy trackside detail and scenery.
