Today we gonna ride the Western Maryland Scenic Railway. It is an Awesome ride
from Cumberland Maryland to Frostburg and back. Ruling grade here is 1.75%.
Mostly all up grade from Cumberland to Frostburg. You will get to see various clips
of our ride including ascending Helmstettler's Curve. I researched and was unable to
find what degree curve Helmstettler's was but am guessing it about an 8 or bit higher
degree curve.
Our ride was pulled by an EMD F40PHM-2 built 7/1981 for Amtrak. It is road number 450
for WMSR. We are in the open air coach directly behind the loco on the ride up to Frostburg.
This is a very enjoyable ride to take.
Here's the link to WMSR where you can get schedules and prices and more info about them:
