WMSR 501
Title:  WMSR 501
Description:  One of the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad's GP30's leads an autumn excursion train across the bridge between Ridgeley, WV and Cumberland, MD. After the curve it will be pulling into Cumberland's restored Western Maryland Station. In the background, fog shrouds the valley of the Potomac River on a cool damp morning. This engine is a former PRR/PC/Conrail 2249 built in 1963.
