William T. Sherman Crow
Granddad worked for the
Cumberland & Potomac Railroad (C&P RR) as a machinist, brakeman, and
conductor. He had a piece of the original iron rail made in Mt.
Savage, Maryland. This was the first iron rail made in the United
States. This piece of rail was presented to the Mt. Savage Historical
Society in 2006. An article in the Cumberland Evening Time dated
May 15, 1917 describes how Granddad lost his leg:
"William Crow(e), of Mt. Savage, was removed to the Miners Hospital last
evening. The right leg was crushed off when he was thrown from the
front end of his engine as the train sideswiped other cars while going
into the switch at Union Mine at Allegany. Mr. Crow is married and has
a wife and one child. He was employed as a brakeman."

John Henry Maser
Cumberland, MD Evening Times August 31, 1903 News Articles
"Mr. John H. Maser, a carpenter employed by the C & P Railroad, met with a serious accident Saturday (August 29, 1903) morning, while at work on a coal tipple at Ocean, MD, resulting in the loss of part of one leg. Mr. Maser, while crossing the track in front of an approaching car, slipped and fell with his left leg over the rail, the car running over it severing it above the ankle.
Dr. Smith of Midland, was summoned, who bandaged up the limb and had him placed on 'the' No. 2 Train which conveyed him to Mt. Savage, where he was taken to his home in the Log Row, where Dr. Quarles assisted by Dr. Smith and trained nurse Miss Minnie Aldridge amputated the limb below the knee. He is resting easy this morning.
