Western Maryland Scenic Railroad began this year's
season on the weekend of May 5th and 6th, which
is a few weeks earlier than previous years. The
excursion trains to Frostburg were well patronized
both days on this weekend. This photo was taken
as the WM Scenic's 2-8-0 No. 734 was pulling into
the Cumberland, Maryland station on May 6th for
boarding. Photo by Alex Mayes.
History: Western Maryland Scenic runs over the
former right-of-way of the Western Maryland Railway
(later B&O then Chessie System, then CSX)
between Cumberland and Frostburg, Maryland. The
track is now owned by the State of Maryland.
