Marooned         
An empty sand train of 80 cars and eight locomotives (SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4005, AVR 405, CN 8813, CN 8942, CN 8897, NS 9886) coming to a stop at O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom, Dunbar Township. The crew had to leave the train here because CSX was going to make them wait too long to get onto their tracks across the river. Up above the train the Sheepskin bike/hike trail runs along the hillside, which used to the the lead track for Western Maryland Railways Bowest Yard.
