A portion of the CBR lasted as the East Washington Railway until shortly before the Washington Metro was built. Some of the rail in their yard area was acquired by the Baltimore Streetcar Museum and is still in use today.

Off to Connelsville....

2 views of the coal arch

[J. S. Bach]

It would be interesting to see how that was built; one corner seems to have a power step-down transformer almost embedded in it!

I wonder if views in all four direction exist?

Bottom photo; there appears to be another arch of some kind up the hill; quite interesting.

And maybe another one beyond that??

Yup; seeing the same stuff. Other views; maybe somewhere.....all I have are these 2 directions.

I think I see street car tracks and overhead wire.
The buildings look different. Different years? Different directions?

It has 4 openings. I don't know what you call but it is more than an arch.

The arch went over an entire 4 way intersection and so had 4 openings. The 2 cards show 2 of the 4 openings from 2 or the 4 viewing directions.

The intersecting arches are groins.

Was that 4 way arch constructed with Coal or Coke?

aka a double barrel vault or cross vault when used to describe a ceiling.....where 2 barrel groins intersect at 90 degrees...and not the coastal term....nor ones anatomy,
