Can anyone provide info on this? My father lived in Clinton, MD with his sister from 1950-1954 before joining the Navy for 4 years...her house was in the flight path of one of the runways at Andrews. I remember him telling me when I was a kid about an air force "cargo" plane crashing on a public highway near Andrews sometime in the 1950's...I wonder if this is it?

I see Steve posted an old railroad pic, here is one from "my backyard" of the B&O Royal Blue traversing the Thomas Viaduct in 1937. This bridge crosses the Potapsco River valley near Elkridge, MD (not far from my home) and was the first stone/mason bridge of its type built in America on a curve...it was finished in 1835 and for its time was considered an engineering marvel. It is still in constant use today.
