Lee Avis shot the B&O between Cumberland and Sand Patch in the 1950s. The WM footage comes from the Cumberland area. This is rare footage now brought to you edited and professionally transferred to DVD. Watch heavy B&O coal and freight drags pulled and pushed by brawny 2-8-8-4 EM-1 class engines and double-headed S-1 class 2-10-2 pushers. Q-4 class 2-8-2s and T-3 class 4-8-2s are also seen along with the Cumberland engine servicing facility. On the WM the focus is on Maryland Jct. (Ridgely, WV) and the servicing facility.
We also see passenger traffic behind a K-2 class Pacific and H class 2-8-0s in the Narrows and 2-10-2s on Helmstetter’s Curve. 8mm color and B&W film, silent with music. No narration/sound.

This is some EXCELLENT footage captured in a time we all wish we could go back to.

This DVD includes both freight and passenger trains pulled by both steam and diesel on both the WM and B&O in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

This is a really fine look at both the B&O and Western Maryland. There is great coverage of the S-1a 2-10-2’s being readied for helper service and pushing trains. Coverage of the WM is pretty sparse and this is a real treat for us WM fans. Lots of good shots of the bulky K-2 Pacifics and other massive WM steam. A very enjoyable trip into the past.

A trip back in time to witness everyday work on these railroads are very decent to see, as well as a variety of Steam power which they have since been retired, displayed, sold to museums, and sadly gone for scrap. Not to mention being merged. Overall, good compilation, decent trains, and fine music as these films will take you back way before the internet, social media, and also online shopping.
