Cumberland Subdivision
The Cumberland Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of Maryland and West Virginia. The line runs from Weverton, Maryland west to near Cumberland, Maryland〔(CSX Timetables: Cumberland Subdivision )〕 along the old Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road (B&O) main line. At its east end, the Cumberland Subdivision becomes the Metropolitan Subdivision; at its west end (at Mexico, Maryland) it becomes the Cumberland Terminal Subdivision. It meets the Shenandoah Subdivision at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia and the Lurgan Subdivision at Cherry Run, West Virginia.
==History==
The Cumberland Subdivision was opened in 1842 as part of the B&O's main line.〔, March 2005 Edition〕
In 1914 the B&O opened the Magnolia Cutoff, a more direct route through mountain ridges, running between Hansrote and Paw Paw, West Virginia. The project included construction of four tunnels, two bridges, and many deep rock cuts.〔High Iron Online. ("Magnolia Cutoff." ) 2001-09-20.〕 The B&O continued to use the original route along the Potomac River, called the "Lowline," until 1961.〔Rail Nutter News. ("Magnolia Cutoff." ) Accessed 2010-11-17.〕
In 1987 the subdivision and the rest of the B&O system were merged into CSX.
