Click on Photo for larger view Correction to previous page of three images were actually shot on November 13, 1940.


Original Cushman photo 411 (dated Nov. 13, 1940) 1945 White Farm on Route 40, 1/2 west of Sunset Beach Swimming Pool (about 3 miles east of Claysville PA) Farm house is to the right out of the picture. About 1/3 down from top of page in both pictures is shown the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad track which supported the then running B & O railroad that ran between Washington and Claysville PA. It continued west (left) from here about 1/4 mile, crossed under Route 40 to the southern side and on into Claysville PA.. .	Original Cushman photo 412 (dated Nov. 13, 1940) 1945 White Farm (same location --1/3 down from top and center of photo is the original farmhouse). Baltimore and Ohio Railroad track can be seen in this photo as well. The road that appears as a driveway coming toward the photographer leads up towards Route 40 (Old National Pike) which is still in use today.


Photo above was taken by this web master in June 2007. (I live nearby) There is a new house being built on the old location but as you can see, the foliage is so thick now that almost nothing is visible from Route 40.	Original Cushman photo 410 (dated Nov. 13, 1940) If anyone can identify the spot, please notify us at email address at bottom of page. Photo appears to be in the same area.
