Williamsport was a busy place in WM days with a train-order office, a helper station, passing Alpha-Jets and B&O coal drags. It even had its own branch line that ran to a power plant and the C&O Canal. Today Williamsport may see at the most two or as little as one train a day. It was reduced to single track and any pushers that might be used are now called from Brunswick,Md. But even pushers are rarely used. Most west bounds have the extra power for Williamsport Hill added at Cumberland on the B&O. Today the train-order office is not used by CSX anymore and was falling apart after the roof shingles were removed. The office has since collapsed and has been torn down.
