Harpers Ferry Bridge Opens After Fire Damage
The westbound track over the Harpers Ferry bridge, damaged by fire, was opened to traffic by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Temporary connections routed trains over the old Valley bridge, avoiding detours. Officials confirmed steel girders and stringers were not heat damaged, fire control aided by volunteers, and emergency repairs restored one track by last night with full reconnection likely taking more time.
