CSX Railroad Bridge near Stony River
North Branch Potomac River Railroad Bridge
Several bridges over the North Branch Potomac are part of the historic Thomas Subdivision of the Western Maryland Railway, constructed in the late 1870s. Kitzmiller, about 2 miles downstream, was a bustling town along the railroad and the river. The Western Maryland operated steam engines along the Thomas subdivision until the early 1950s. In the 1970s, the rail line was relocated to allow construction of the Jennings Randolph reservoir. This bridge crosses the North Branch from West Virginia to Maryland below the confluence of the North Branch and the Stony River, an area popular for kayaking and whitewater rafting.
