At the Bollman's company bridge built in 1879, the Western Maryland Railroad spur from the Cushwa basin area went through the narrow passage between the hillside and the bridge’s stone abutment. The spur served the Steffey and Findlay and F. H. Darby and Sons warehouses and mill on the berm near Lock 44. Both companies were involved in the coal and grain trade and had built their warehouses on land leased from the canal company. At times the activity at this end of the Williamsport stretch of the canal may have been as busy as around the main basin half a mile upstream.
