This book is a pictorial history looking back at the Western Maryland Railway through black and white photos during its glory years of operations in the 1950s, to its final years of pre-consolidation in the 1970s through color photography. It also takes a look at the railroad more than a decade after its merger into the Chessie System. We will also review a brief history on the "Queen City" (Cumberland, Maryland), as well as the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal.

Take a nonstop journey through 131 years of the Western Maryland Railway's history in this photographic tale. The Western Maryland Railway was never a large Class 1 rail carrier, but during its 131 colorful years of existence, it provided extremely fast, efficient, and reliable freight; coal-hauling; and passenger service in the states it served. This book contains images from the history of this remarkable railroad and also provides the reader the opportunity to see how the legacy of the Western Maryland Railway is being maintained and remembered even today at some of its well-known train stations, such as in Cumberland and Union Bridge, Maryland, now home to the Western Maryland Railway Historical Society (WMRHS). The Western Maryland is now gone, but through the wonderful images captured and preserved by the WMRHS and private archival photograph collections, the dream of the railway will live on.
