Cumbo...
Below is the module through Cumbo. The York
Hill module attaches to the left of this piece and the Cherry Run module
attaches to the right.
Independent of the discussion on the York Hill module,
the Cumbo module is going to stay as is for now. This is the stickiest
point of the East End to design correctly. I am still thinking about
this part of the line and may change my mind again.
There is still a small yard there throughout the Chessie
era to interchange cars with Conrail. This facility saw alot of traffic
before the WM and B&O got together. But with a WM/B&O team
there was no longer much need to interchange with Conrail here. The
interchange between WM and B&O at Cherry Run became increasingly important
in the Chessie era, and this interchange at Cumbo was used less and less.
Few cars were actually interchanged. It was used as a storage yard.
