John, 

Living just North of Sharpsburg from 1959 or till I moved to Florida in 67, those tracks are definitely
the tracks that were in Sharpsburg and it has been so long but I remember the trackage that went into Etna also, of course this was  just prior to the mammouth Bypass project that took traffic over and around Etna and Sharpsburg.  

these Postcard pictures are fantastic and glad we have them
