Topic - Port Covington

Port Covington was a railroad terminal in Baltimore, Maryland, situated on the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River. It was built by the Western Maryland Railway and opened in 1904. The terminal facilities included coal, grain and merchandise piers, overhead cranes, 11 rail yards, warehouses, a roundhouse, a turntable and a machine shop. In the 1920s rotary dumpers for coal and coke were installed, as well as a large grain elevator. Port operations ended in the 1970s and the site was abandoned in 1988. - Source: Wikipedia
