The major bridges destroyed, such as the former Twin Arch Bridge over South Codorus Creek north of Howard Tunnel

That was a double track bridge with 1 track removed. The half of the bridge with 1 remaining track was destroyed by the flood.

As I understood it, between York and Cockeysville the line was good for maybe 20-30 cars A YEAR over 35+ miles of line.

There was also interchange traffic with Stewartstown RR. Many cars had to be trucked out of New Freedom after the storm, maybe traffic was bunched?
