Does CSX use any of the WM?

I know the western end is gone but is any part of the rest of the WM used by CSX for any more than light branch? I know parts are shortlines too.

I was curious if there are any parts that see more regular mainline service. Thanks.

Charles;

CSX runs over former WM trackage from Cherry Run/Big Pool to Hagerstown, from Hagerstown to Highfield, PA, and from Hagerstown to Chambersburg on the old Lurgan line. I'm not 100% certain but CSX may also run on some former WM trackage from Cumberland to Luke.

Thanks! I thought you were a NY poster only.

CSX uses the WM route from Hagerstown to Baltimore via Hanover & Gettysburg connection with CSX's Baltimore Terminal sub at Mt.Winans. The WM route from Hagerstown to Chambersburg is used to service CSX Intermodal's Chambersburg facility.

The WM route from Emory Grove via Westminister was sold to the Maryland Midland back in the early 80's.

I have my fingers in several pies, so to speak. LOL.
