The railroad was intended to provide a faster route for Midwestern goods to reach the East Coast than the successful Erie Canal across upstate NY. Construction began on July 4th, 1828. It was decided to follow the Patapsco River to a point near where the railroad would cross the “fall line” and descend into the valley of the Monocacy and Potomac Rivers. Thomas Viaduct (on the B&O RR) spans the Patapsco River and Patapsco Valley between Relay and Elkridge, MD (1833-35) It was the largest bridge in the nation and today its still the world's oldest multiple arched stone railroad bridge Further extensions of the B&O RR soon opened to Frederick and Point of Rocks on the Potomac river.
