Cherry Run is a small unincorporated hamlet located along the CSX Transportation (formerly Baltimore and Ohio Railroad) mainline on the Potomac River in Morgan County of West Virginia
The community is named for the stream, Cherry Run, that meets the Potomac in its vicinity. It was originally known as Cherry Run Depot
Across the Potomac from Cherry Run lies Big Pool on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Cherry Run is reached by Householder Road (WV Secondary Route 10) from the west and both Cherry Run Road (WV Secondary Route 5) and Fulton Road (WV Secondary Route 1/5) from Martinsburg Road (West Virginia Route 9) to the south.
The last remnant of the interchange was Miller Tower an interlocking tower controlling the junction. The tower was closed in September 2000, disassembled, and moved to the Martinsburg Shops site in February 2001. It was eventually reassembled there in November 2005. ( See cache GC2NCCW ) Miller Tower at Cherry Run was a connection and interchange point with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The WM had a small yard at Cherry Run that was served by WM freight trains that had stopped a Big Pool, dropped their train, and backed down to the yard to set off or pickup cars from the B&O. In the early steam days there was also a wye maintained here along with a joint WM/B&O station. Miller Tower once controlled the interlocking with the WM and B&O's lowline and mainline. B&O's lowline is the original route of the B&O, later B&O built a new "shorter" route but it has steeper grades.
