The Cactocin Aqueduct

[By this aqueduct the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal crosses Cactocin Creek, ten miles from Harper's Ferry. It was over the right of way here at the "Point of Rocks" that the bitter quarrel between the canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railway was precipitated. The piers of the railway bridge over the same stream may be seen through the first arch of the aqueduct]
