WMSR Named 4th “Best Scenic Train Ride”, #1 Standard Gauge in USA

We’re thrilled to announce that the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad (WMSR) has been voted #4 in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for “Best Scenic Train Ride” in the country!

Even more exciting—WMSR is officially the #1 standard-gauge scenic railroad in the United States, standing out among a competitive field of historic and picturesque rail experiences.

This recognition celebrates everything that makes the WMSR experience unforgettable: breathtaking views of the Allegheny Mountains, our beautifully restored vintage railcars, and the iconic steam locomotive No. 1309—the largest operating compound steam engine in the country.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxing ride on the Frostburg Flyer, a themed event like the Murder Mystery Dinner Train or Polar Express™, or enjoying a first-class dining experience on board, there’s no better time to ride the rails with us.

Thank you to everyone who voted and continues to support heritage rail! We look forward to welcoming you aboard for a truly scenic journey through Western Maryland.
