The Western Maryland Railway was famous for its huge steam locomotive, F-unit diesels, and spectacular scenery. This nostalgic full-color portrait of the line in its heyday offers all three in abundance.<br><br>The program opens with an exciting showcase of steam on the Elkins branch, featuring trains with as many as seven steam locomotives, including the massive 2-8-0s, 2-10-2s and 4-6-6-4 Challengers that muscled tonnage over the mountains.<br><br>Diesel power is represented by a parade of F-units hauling freight from Cumberland to Connellsville. Many famous WM locations are visited, including Salisbury Viaduct, Deal, Helmstetter's Curve and the Cumberland Narrows. A portion of this line is now operated by the Western Maryland Scenic Railway tourist line.<br><br>30 Minutes *DVD* Full Color * Synchronized Sound<br>Produced by Marc S.
