A 2+ hour railbike ride with return trip on a historical train aboard the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Over 15 miles of track mostly on a downhill grade (the last 3/4 mile will require some effort) The route includes beautiful scenery through the Allegheny Mountains of Western Maryland. We will go over bridges, through The Brush Tunnel, coast parallel to the Great Allegheny Passage and wave hello to cyclists as we pass through The Narrows. We will finish the first leg of our tour as we glide into The Queen City, Cumberland, MD.
The terminus of the excursion is at the Historic Western Maryland Railway Cumberland Station at Canal Place. Our tour guides will point out the restrooms and get you your train ticket to board the train for the return trip.
The train leaves promptly at 11:30 so please board as soon as possible. The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad operates several historic locomotives, some diesel and on occasion the largest operating steam engine in the country, 1309. We can not guarantee what engine will be pulling the train on any certain day.
