WESTERN MARYLAND RAILROAD STATION Description: Located on Canal Street in Cumberland, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Station houses the C&O Canal Visitor Center operated by the National Park Service on the lower floor. The railroad operates regularly scheduled steam and diesel-powered trips over 16 miles between Cumberland and Frostburg. The railroad is within easy walking distance of the origin point, or “Mile 0,” of the original Cumberland Road, which later became known as the National Road. To the northwest, “The Narrows” provides a scenic pass through the Alleghany Mountains. Both the Historic National Road and the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad squeeze through the Narrows side by side. Credit: Photo by Jeff Killion. Copyright © 2000 Lardner/Klein Landscape Architects.
