"Frostburg is the destination town for the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.
The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad (WMSR) is a hotspot for local, national, and international train enthusiasts. After the 2015 season, WMSR retired the Western Maryland #734 Steam Engine for inspection and repairs, and are working to restore the Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, the last steam locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works for a domestic railroad. Once restored and operating, the C&O 1309 will be the largest articulated steam locomotive in regular operation in the United States. Currently, the WMSR is operating their 501 Diesel Engine offering excursions for ages 1 to 101!
The Destination:
Riders on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad leave the Western Maryland Railway Station in Cumberland, MD to embark on the uphill journey to the Frostburg Depot.
