Point of Rocks Railroad Tunnel. Opened in 1868, rebuilt in 1909. Originally
built to hold two tracks. When the B&O deeded the canal property to the federal government in
1938, it retained enough canal land to add a second track outside the tunnel, which it finally did
in
the 1960s. The tracks in the tunnel were replaced by one track, which made room for larger
cars. |
