===The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad=== [[File:Frostburg, Maryland (5855193122).jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|A [[Western Maryland Scenic Railroad]] train at Frostburg station in 2011]] The [[Western Maryland Scenic Railroad]] runs between Cumberland at [[Canal Place]] and [[Frostburg]]. The depot at Frostburg was originally designed for the [[Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad]] by architect [[Ephraim Francis Baldwin]] and built in 1891.<ref>{{Cite book|title=E. Francis Baldwin, Architect: The B&O, Baltimore, and Beyond|last=Avery|first=Carlos P.|publisher=Baltimore Architecture Foundation|year=2003|isbn=0-9729743-0-X|location=Baltimore, Maryland|pages=45, 128}}</ref> The train stops at the Frostburg Depot for ninety minutes so passengers may shop or eat lunch. The locomotive is detached, rotated on the turntable and run around and reattached to the other end of the train<ref group=note>This does not apply to No. 1309, which cannot be turned, and instead a second locomotive on the rear has to tow the train back to Cumberland.</ref> for its journey back to Cumberland. These manoeuvers takes about fifteen minutes and attract a lot of attention from the passengers, most of whom are tourists. Surrounding the depot are Linns Bar and Grill, The Trail Inn and Cafe, The Great Allegheny Passage Hiking/Biking Trail, and the Thrasher Carriage Museum. The standard train ride departs at 11:30 a.m. from the Cumberland station and lasts approximately 3.5 hours. The railroad also offers caboose rentals and a variety of specialty trains such as a Murder Mystery train, a Christmas themed train, and a night-time Santa Express.<ref>[https://www.wmsr.com/ Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Website]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120409155555/http://www.wmsr.com/attraction.php?attraction=18&category=132&ac=18,132 Great Allegheny Passage]</ref>
