Railroad Lift Bridge (Western Maryland Railway)
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail, Williamsport, Washington County, MD 21795, United States of America
Railroad Lift Bridge (Western Maryland Railway) carries the road from Nottingham to Chester over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near to Polstan.
The Act of Parliament for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for coal traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1990 the canal became famous when John Edwards swam through Wolverhampton Embankment in 17 minutes live on television.
