Along the C&PD

The Columbia & Port Deposit Railroad, now known as the Port Road, travels from Columbia, Pennsylvania to Perryville, Maryland. The railroad was opened in 1877. It was part of the PRR, which later became Conrail, and is now owned by Norfolk Southern. It's a pretty line, but difficult to observe in that it hugs the Susquehanna and the trains run mostly at night.
The above photo (supplied along with the rest of this weeks "finds" by friend of the site Mike Class) appears to be from the C&PD. It looks very similar to a photo found on page 104 of "Triumph VI." The photo is captioned Cromley's Mountain Station, which was located between Octoraro and Conowingo.
