We are winding down the in-person Virtual Meetup events but I'm still looking for people willing to present at your convenience. We'll record your presentation, edit it if necessary, and broadcast it on the OpSIG YouTube channel. If you're interested in doing this, please email Eric Smith at editor@opsig.org.
Ben Sullivan's B&O Georgetown Branch Or: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Branch Line!" The GB ran from just west of Silver Spring, MD through Chevy Chase, Bethesda, along the palisades of the Potomac, and into Georgetown, DC. It operated from 1892 until 1985 and included a long trestle, tunnel, and urban street running. The line served varied industries including fuel vendors, cement plants, lumber yards, an aggregate plant, mills, three power plants and even a Frito factory. This clinic will discuss the history of the Branch as well as Ben's odyssey researching and modeling the line over the last twenty-plus years.
