was an American

. It was primarily a
coal
hauling and
freight

operation. The WM became part of the
Chessie System
in 1973, although it continued independent operations until May 1975 after which time many of its lines were abandoned in favor of parallel
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
lines. In 1983 it was fully merged into the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
, which later was also merged into the
Chessie System
with the former
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
, which is now
