Two  lines of the former B&O  railroad cross at Parkersburg West Virginia.  The remains of the East /West line (Washington D.C.  to  St. Louis) crosses the Ohio River at Belpre Ohio and enter the "High Yard".   The other B&O line is the relatively active North/ South line from Huntington to  the  Benwood Jct. area (?) that enters Parkersburg's  "Low Yard".
