Doe Gully Curves.

About half way between Cumberland
and Martinsburg, on the Second Divi-
sion Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. is a picturesque spot known as
Doe Gully. There is quite little hill
at this point that the road goes
through, and the approaches to this
tunnel include several reverse curves.
The company has been engaged for the
past two months in removing these
curves and reducing the grades. The
chief engineer says that the improve
ment will do away with one of the
most Objectionable pieces of track on
the Second Division since Seven
Curves were eliminated. and will re-
move four reverse curves. 1t will not
only make much better riding track
for fast trains. but materially assist
the west-bound freights in climbing
this grade.
