Vintage Postcard of Point Marion, Pennsylvania. Point Marion is a borough in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, located at the confluence of the Monongahela and Cheat Rivers. The bridge for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s Fairmont, Morgantown, and Pittsburgh branch (FM&P) crossing the Cheat River can be seen left of center. The FM&P subdivision ran approximately 67 miles from Greene Junction in Connellsville, PA to Fairmont, WV.

It was pin connected.

As expected, the replacement road bridge is a UCEB (Ugly Concrete Eyesore Bridge) using steel girders, and the B&O, as well as the bridge, is gone.

Note the coal tipple in the lower-right corner that had a conveyor across Cheat River to access rail service.
