Other InformationA shadow of its former self. I
believe Cumbo Tower has been torn down and the Conrail (ex-Pennsy) trackage has
been abandoned and torn out for a long time. CSX uses a siding there for
maintenance storage.
Amtrak Schedule (Times are for the Martinsburg Station. Amtrak does not stop at Cumbo.)
#30/#29 Capitol Limited: 2/day; EB 11:45am/WB 4:50pm (schedule effective 27OCT2002) Shedule link
Other Notes: Cumbo Rd. goes underneath the tracks through
a drainage tunnel. Need to park off side of road (not much or a road)
in a farm field entrance and walk up to tracks. I believe the tower
was torn down around 1999. Used to be a busy interchange (B&O and
Pennsy). The yard and interchange tracks are long gone but there is
a siding used for railway equipment.
