This 16 mile (26 km) long heritage railroad is based in Cumberland, Maryland, and operates over ex-Western Maryland Railway (WM) trackage to Frostburg, Maryland, using both steam and diesel locomotives.
The WMSR offers coach and first class service, as well as reserved caboose rides. The railroad also runs murder mystery excursions and special seasonal trips.
The star power is ex-Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad number 734, a 1916 Baldwin-built 2-8-0 steam locomotive painted in WM "fireball" livery. The locomotive came to the line from the Illinois Railway Museum in 1991 and after an extensive rebuild, it entered service the following year; it has received several modifications over the years to give it more of a WM appearance.
