Offering an exciting mix of rich transportation history and spectacular mountaintop scenery, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad is a heritage railroad that operates from Cumberland to Frostburg.
Using both diesel-powered and steam locomotives, the train begins its journey in downtown Cumberland and travels on ex-Western Maryland Railway trackage through the Allegheny Mountains to downtown Frostburg.
Notable attractions along the way include an iron truss bridge, the harrowing Helmstetter’s Horseshoe Curve, and the 914-foot Brush Tunnel that runs beneath Piney Mountain. The tracks join the old Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad before reaching Frostburg.
