“Beard’s Crossing” Already 15 minutes late for its 11:01 appointment at Martinsburg, and with 10 miles yet to go, Amtrak 30(1), the eastbound Capitol Limited (CSX P030), on No. 1 Main, negotiates the reverse curve approaching Beard’s Crossing (BA 109.8), between BACK CREEK (BA 110.6) and NORTH MOUNTAIN (BA 108.0) on the Cumberland Subdivision.
Powerful members of Congress once helped this scenic state get levels of service not seen elsewhere. Now the Capitol Limited and Cardinal are all that remain.
