Green Ridge, West Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Ridge is a now uninhabited railroad community in Morgan County, West Virginia on the old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad mainline where the Western Maryland Railroad crosses the Potomac River from the Stickpike Tunnel in Maryland. Green Ridge was originally known as Baird and was an operating station on the B&O. Today, it is located within the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. A stretch of the Western Maryland's Right-of-Way from Green Ridge to Jerome is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Green Ridge is accessible by way of Baird Lane (County Route 12/3) from Hansrote Road (County Route 12/2) at Hansrote. It can also be reached by a number of residential roads in the Nixon Tracts development on Magnolia Ridge from Magnolia to the south. While uninhabited, the site is popular with railfans.
