Remarks & Notes |
Emerging from the home yard in Ridgely, WV on a spectacular October morning. It would stop at the road crossing in Ridgely for a brake test and final inspection before continuing on across the border to the station in Cumberland.
The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad offers steam and diesel-powered trips during a May through December season, from Cumberland to Frostburg, Maryland. They also do special chartered photographic runs. This engine is a 1916 Baldwin 2-8-0 formerly of the LS&I (Lake Superior & Ishpeming RR). On this day it was pulling enough passenger cars that it also had help on the rear with WMSR 502. |
