The 'Lurgan Subdivision' is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. The line runs from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania south to Hagerstown, Maryland and west to Cherry Run, West Virginia[1] along a former Western Maryland Railway line. It meets the Hanover Subdivision at Hagerstown and the Cumberland Subdivision at Cherry Run. The line is named after its former northern end at Lurgan, Pennsylvania, where the Western Maryland once connected to the Reading Company along the Alphabet Route.
