From Martinsburg north to the river, the belt hasbeen too far removed from railroads to open profitable quar-ries, but the new line of the Williamsport, Nessle and Mar-tinsburg Railroad follows south very close to this outcrop. South of Martinsburg the outcrop on the western side ofthe anticlinal fold, locally known as the west quarry belt,is faulted and the eastern outcrop of this faulted belt uniteswith the east quarry belt on the dipping south end of thefold just north of Evans Run. It is exposed just south ofthe run in a small area by erosion and removal of the over-lying rock in a ravine. Further south the belt comes to thesurface and with one short dip, the limestone is continuous southward. Two miles southeast of Martinsburg on the NationalLimestone Compan\ tract, another anticlinal fold brings theStones River to the surface in two belts, one on the east side.
