I will get up that way hopefully before summer to get some photos of trackage and the trail.Ģ-12-19, Chased CSX Hanover Sub Local from Hagerstown to Highfield and return on Saturday morning February 9th, then 2 trains on the way home on the N&W Shenandoah Line. Looking for CVRR, Pennsylavania RR, Penn Central, Conrail, and NS photos of trains, stations, etc. If anyone has any interesting images of trains along this route, please share and I will add. Maps and some info added as I have never been north of Shippensburg on the CVRR nor out much on the CVRR above Hagerstown. The original route, not the Reading that NS operates. Please click the WMRHS logo to the right for more info.Ģ-27-19, Added pages in from Winchester, VA to Harrisburg, PA. There is also a yearly convention, other activities, and monthly meetings you can attend. Membership also includes access to photos and information at the WMRHS headquarters in WM's Union Bridge Station and Freight Station. The $30.00 membership dues include an annual pictorial calendar and quarterly news/reading publications. The WMRHS has been the source of many great photos that are posted this website. Please visit and consider joining the WESTERN MARYLAND RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY. We had hiked from Paw Paw to Town Creek on the C&O Canal and as stated above I walked most of the WM. We had a hiking/camping trip that weekend. Notice the thru-truss bridge over the C&O Canal can still be seen in the distance in this 1992 photo. I was under 18 years old and in Boy Scouts as you can see the other Scouts up on the bridge with me. One of my very first photos that I took on the WM's West Sub is shown to the left. It seems like every year another bridge is removed, right-of-way bulldozed away, another fence is put up, and weeds turn into trees. I hope that this route can be saved from the continuously changing surroundings. I've put toeghter a website on these photos along with historic photos and information along various railroad locations. I've always found the large bridges, tunnels, and deep cuts very interesting. I spent mostly all of the time up on the abandoned railroad. I was first interested in the abandoned WM while in Boy Scouts as we hiked the C&O Canal which closely parallels the WM. I have always been interested in trains as long as I can remember. I have put this website together over the past few years from photos I have taken while hiking along the abandoned railroad and others that were sent to me to post on the website.
