WMSR Named one of “10 Best Fall Foliage Rides in U.S. by FamilyVacationist

We’re proud to share that the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad’s Frostburg Flyer has been named one of the Top 10 Fall Foliage Train Rides in the U.S. by FamilyVacationist.

In their 2024 roundup of the country’s most scenic autumn rail experiences, FamilyVacationist highlights the Frostburg Flyer as a must-ride journey through Maryland’s vibrant Allegheny Mountains. Guests enjoy an unforgettable ride aboard historic steam or diesel locomotives as the train winds through tunnels, over bridges, and alongside stunning hardwood forests glowing in peak fall colors.

Here’s what they had to say:

“The 3.5-hour round-trip excursion from Cumberland to Frostburg offers sweeping views of Western Maryland’s brilliant fall foliage. Passengers can ride in a vintage 1950s coach, an open-air car, or even the caboose.”

Other railroads featured include New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Cog Railway, Amtrak’s scenic Ethan Allen Express and Downeaster, and Colorado’s luxury Rocky Mountaineer route.
