Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Station
Daytime scenic excursions leave the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Station for three hour round trips to Frostburg, with a one hour stop, before making the return trip. The station is utilized as the headquarters of the Canal Place Preservation & Development Authority and the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.
The C&O Canal National Historical Park Visitors Center is inside the station and features an exhibit area with interactive and educational displays about the history of the C&O Canal and Cumberland. A model of the Paw Paw Tunnel lets you step back in time. Check out a life size section of a canal boat and view exhibits on the canal's construction, cargo, mules, locks, and crew before you leave.
