The heart of the B&O was Cumberland Maryland. The Cumberland Division covered 200 miles of heavy mainline from Weaverton(Brunswick)Maryland to Grafton, West Virginia. THe 100 miles of trackage east of Cumberland was named East End and the trackage west of Cumberland was the West End. <br />On the west end was found one of the nation's toughest grades and operating condtions mixed with a high number of heavy coal , freight and passenger trains. The largest and most powerful B&O locomotives were used on this division. The tradition continues today with extra heavy duty GE and EMD locomotives.
