Our Mission

Built to haul coal out of Maryland and West Virginia, the Western Maryland Railway was one of the great railroads of the Appalachian Mountains. Today the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad has revived the mountain spirit of Western Maryland, and one can now experience the scenic Allegheny Mountains from inside a comfortable streamline era passenger car.

Our year-round steam or diesel trains depart from Cumberland and travel to the mountain town of Frostburg. As your train climbs along the mountainside you will pass through cuts, over streams through a 914ft Tunnel, and be treated to some of the best vistas rural Maryland has to offer.

Dine out on Maryland’s only rolling restaurant as our evening trains offer a variety of experiences. The Allegheny Mountain Dinner train offers three-course meals, cooked fresh onboard the trains. Live entertainment on our Sunset on the Mountain trains is perfect for a date night out and our Murder Mystery Dinner Train is always a popular favorite during the summer months.

Popular with our local communities and visitors alike, our Ice Cream Trains, Pumpkin Patch, Polar Express, and other family fun rides provide memorable experiences for all to enjoy. Join the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad today for a trip on one of America’s favorite train rides.
