Our repainted 'Cumberland' car rolled out of the paint shop this morning. This WM Railway heritage livery will be continued onto the stainless steel cars in our fleet. WMSR shop crew team members did all of the work. Well done, team, WELL DONE!

1309 Update (Photos & Video)
On Sunday, July 9: The first of thirty-six 5.5" flues went in. Each of these flues is 23' long weighing about 300lbs, and are the longest flues of any locomotive in operation.
90% of the tubes (203 to be exact) are cut and fit into the boiler, but they still need to be rolled and finished. 38 more tubes need cut and fit.

Railcom Repeater Now Up & Running! (Photos)
A work in progress for 4 years, our repeater has been plugged in and turned on! This means that we can now more easily communicate with our Frostburg Station! This system in particular came from Railcom and will produce better quality than we've ever had!
Special thanks to Allegany County Public Schools and specifically Vince Montana and John Wertz. This would not be a reality without all of your handwork.
