West Portal: (
Satellite)
Western Maryland evidently prefered timber lined tunnels because that is what they also used for the
Stickpile (Greenridge) Tunnel.
This was Western Maryland's longest tunnel. Linda points to the black blob in the upper-left corner and says that is the top of the tunnel. So this must be the east portal, and the Josephh bat-gated portal at the top of these notes must be the west portal.

A reminder that the C&O Canal shared the Potomac River route with the Western Maryland on the Maryland side of the river. The B&O used the West Virginia side of the river until they built their
Magnolia Cutoff.
