Steamers include the Decapod 2-10-0, Challenger 4-6-6-4, H-9 2-8-0, Pacific 4-6-2 and the Potomac 4-8-4. First generation F-7’s and Alco RS-24 diesels herald the end of steam.

  1. Mwdonoughue

    This program showcases both steam and diesel on the Western Maryland, as they work to haul heavy freight trains and short passenger trains up the steep grades of the Alleghenies.

  2. oldline1

    Western Maryland Ry was a very photogenic railroad. Husky steamers and glossy diesels were always exciting whether running fast on the mainline r lugging up steep grades. Bill Price captures all of it for us in his professional style. If you like WM or steam trains this is a definite “buy” for you!
