On Saturday, October 19th, 2013, we made our way over to Cumberland, MD from Harpers Ferry, WV to chase the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. It wasn't the perfect day, but we managed to get some decent shots out of the chase. Leading today's train was WMSR 734, a 1916 Baldwin Built 2-8-0 steam locomotive, and being pushed up the hill by WMSR 501 & 502 which are EMD GP30's from Conrail, 501 coming from the PRR, and 502 coming from the Reading. The GP30's will lead the train back to Cumberland from Frostburg. Below is an index of where we caught the excursion train:
