The other interesting thing to note at this location is that it used to be double track. The Great West Virginia Flood of 1985 wiped out the bridge across the Cheat River, and when CSX rebuilt the line, they replaced it with a single track bridge and part of the grade heading west is single track. I was standing at this location in 1985 just after the flood - the damage was unbelievable.
Not quite true....PEPCO doesn't own any generating stations. They sold them all to Mirant Corp in 2001....Chalk Point, Morgantown, Dickerson, Potomac River....every last one of them are now owned by Mirant. PEPCO is just a wires company, they don't own any generating plants anymore.
