Georges Creek Subdivision

[2][3] CSX Huntington East Division Timetable The majority of the Georges Creek Subdivision was originally owned by the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad (C&P).

[4] After the 1987 mergers of Chessie and Seaboard System into CSX, the line began to decline in use, but continues to this day to have occasional trains to the Morrison, Maryland open load-out tipple.

On June 21, 2006 Western Maryland Survivors, LLC (WMS) purchased the northern/abandoned 8.54 mile portion of the Georges Creek Subdivision.

[5] This portion had two significant washouts that caused CSX to discontinue service north of the Morrison load-out and begin abandonment proceedings.

[9][10] In January 2024, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad (WMSR) of Cumberland, Maryland signed a long-term lease of the Georges Creek Railway from the Eighteen Thirty Group, and the railroad made plans to eventually operate passenger excursion and freight trains the right-of-way as their Georges Creek Division.
