The map below continues our tour of the Baltimore area to the far west of the city, starting at Ellicott City where MAP 6 ends coverage, continuing westward to Sykesville.
Most of the track along the Old Main Line is inaccessible except at crossings. One of the few places you can photograph the line is from across the river from the bike and walk path starting at Davis Road and going west. Along this path, you are also traversing part of the original Old Main Line.
Signals on the Old Main Line were upgraded from the old B&O CPL's to color light signals in 2005.... so don't be dissapointed when you go out to take pictures.
