Western Maryland

Allegheny Rails presents: WMSR 501

This was originally Allegheny Rails First Video! But the Video Wasn’t the best So It never made it to youtube. I re-edited the original video into this one. I hope you all enjoy it!

First you will see western maryland Scenic Railroads GP30 #501 entering berland with a standard Diesel Thursday excursion train.

Then watch as the train makes its way around Helmstetters curve.

Then our train makes its way to the steep Woodcock Hollow curve.

Finally you will see the train on the return trip through the Narrows from high up on Will’s Mountain. (Sorry About All the Wind Sounds!)

So sit back and enjoy!!!

can anyone provide me with a street address/ location where the old WM station was? and as any extras, where ANY current station is located? does the amtrak station there have any history?

Thanks in advance.
One important error on my part… I need the locations in Connellsville, PA. I guess it would help to know what location i mean. The station at Cumberland isnt too bad, at least it is still in its intended service.

The WM station now is the home of Yough Glass, 900 Crawford Ave. in C'ville. Here is a link with photos and history:

There is an Amtrak station in Greensburg, drive up 119 from C'ville. Closer than Pgh, though I'm not sure of the address.

Also check this book out for some history of the WM along the Yough:
