Hard to belive there's a coal loader near here! The rural setting belies the fact there are several strip mines in a five mile raidus of this farm. 546 and 492 pull past the loader, and 268 and 2... (more)

These two engines are heading up to the coal loader at Morrisons. The old depot on the right was Western Maryland. The track on the right is the Thomas Sub.

The Pennsylvannian is a welcome sight after many frieght trains. Here she slips almost silently down hill towards Altoona.

The Cap curves nicely out of Cumberland, east bound after her stop there, passing a switching operation from the west end of the Cumberland Yards.

One of my favorite "plume" shots of WMSR 734, here arriving at Frostburg after the hard pull of the last two miles or so.

Western Maryland Scenic's 734 backhead on their opening day of the 2007 season.

The two fellas who had WM25 restored to her orginial Western Maryland colors, Pat Stakem, and Gerald Altizer on the right.

25 and 501 wait, after being turned on the turntable at Frostburg, to go back to Cumberland.

734, a replica of a Western Maryland 2-8-0, is beside Western Maryland (Georges Creek Railway 25) which is the actual Western Maryland 25!

8016, in C&O colors, leads the Potomac Eagle around big "Eagle Rock" in the rugged valley.

On a pretty summer morning, 8016 waits while passengers load. She's on the rear of today's train, and will lead on the way back to the terminal.

A CSX Signalman bonds wire to rail. In the background, new signals are being tested. The interlocking tower there is being closed, and all dispatching will soon take place from Huntington, WVA

My first ride in an "F" unit. That's engineer Wayne Badger at the F's controls.

Pretty in black..Georges Creek Railway 25 is done in Western Maryland Speed Lettering. This exact locomotive was bought new by the WM and the nose chopped by them.

734 and train make a nice reflection near the Cumberland Station. She's waiting for WMSR GP30 501 to clear before moving in and loading passengers.
