Spring @ Trackside
Title:  Spring @ Trackside
Description:  There are not many vestages of signal infrastructure remaining along the 6 miles of former Frederick Secondary that make up the Walkersville Southern, however the last 1/2 mile on the South End does provide a hint. I suspect the pole line provided power between two crossing signals for what today are Rt26 and Rt355. The cabnet was at the XC point between the two crossing blocks. I expect this perspective will change quite a bit in the next few years as a walking trail is planned to run parallel with the track in this area. /DL

Rebuilding the RT 355 Xing
Title:  Rebuilding the RT 355 Xing
Description:  From a track workers perspective crossings are always a pain in the... well you know where. Fussy work that has to be done right the first time. You can go back and fix something but you sure would rather not ever have to. This crossing at Harmony Grove on MD State Rt 355 is about 100 feet long and is going to be rebuilt in the coming weeks. On this date we removed all the old lag bolts holding the exposed timbers to the under lying ties. Our best guess is that this crossing was last attended to in the late Pennsy days c1975. Since neither rail shows any movement when a locomotive traverses the crossing the ties must be in reasonble condition. That is the 11AM train headed south in the distance. /DL

Hi Water
Title:  Hi Water
Description:  A new RR improvements dont mean all the tees are dotted or all the eyes crossed.... Despite new road construction & recent crossing improvements heavy rains two days earlier resulted in the loss of ballast under 10 or 12 feet of new track. More rain two days later resulted in this situation. Water was up to the rail head half an hour later. /DL
