C&O 3306

            A wide vision caboose sits at the end of the two tracks at Wimpy Minerals in Annapolis Jct, MD sometime in April 1989. The caboose is used in conjunction with the Rockrunner from Hanover, PA. Just beyond is Brock Bridge Rd and beyond that is the remains of the Fort Meade Branch. 

The line was originally opened in 1845 as the western end of the Annapolis & Elkridge Railroad and connected the B&O's Washington Branch here with the state Capitol. In 1903 the railroad was purchased by the new Washington Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad to be electrified and used as their Annapolis Division. In 1935 with the demise of the WB&A, the west end of the Annapolis Division was sold at auction and split between the B&O and the Pennsylvania Railroad for access to the newly upgraded Fort George G. Meade Army Base (originally established as Camp Meade during WW1). By the early 1980s the branch had outlived it's usefulness and was formally abandoned into the base. The remaining wye connection with the Baltimore & Ohio's Washington Branch (now CSXT's Capitol Subdivision) was sold to Wimpy Minerals to be used as a distribution plant for aggregate materials which were hauled by rail from a former Bethlehem Steel owned stone quarry at Bittinger near Hanover, PA.
