Jerome, West Virginia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jerome is an uninhabited community along the old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad mainline in Morgan County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. It is located entirely within the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park on the Potomac River. Jerome is also the site of a stretch of the Western Maryland Railroad Right-of-Way from milepost 126 to milepost 160 listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

At Jerome, the train-order office was in use until it was closed on September 1, 1959. When it was abandoned by the Chessie System in May 1975, the office was not torn down and is one of the few buildings that remain today in Jerome. There was also an operating connection with the B&O low line at milepost 137 but it was later removed when the B&O abandoned the lowline in 1961. The community and its station on the railroad are rumored to have been named for Jerome Bonaparte.
