Sand Patch Grade

Sand Patch is not a line or sub, it's a station name and a section of grade along the Keystone Sub.

Harper's Ferry to Cumberland = East End (B&O era); Cumberland Sub (Chessie - CSX eras)
Cumberland to Pittsburgh = Main Line Sub (B&O era); Keystone Sub (Chessie - CSX eras)

Stupid book.

The actual location of Sandpatch is just a few miles east of Meyersdale, PA.

You're right! I hadn't even bothered to view the full sized image, but then I would never buy anything non-model railroad related from Kalmbach anyway. Even then I'm picky and check the reviews.

I guess mistakes are made sometimes.

In Kalmbach's case, it's more times than not.

Did you mean Tom (aka: ACY)? I don't see where he says they're both correct, but the info in his current post is accurate, except running north out of Cumberland - the yard does, but the mainline swings west as it goes through town and into thew Narrows.

After the Narrows the line turns north for about 8 - 10 miles until Hyndman, PA where the railroad shifts westbound again.
