Fred had a nice picture of the station built where the Windber car line 
crossed the B&O at grade.  The station platform had a stonework lining, and 
given Ed's comment that there is not much of a market for used concrete, 
used my foot to move some leaves and dirt.  By golly, there was the 
stonework, still in place.

For those with an interest in industrial archealogy, remember Ed's comment.
