Wrecked WVC/WM bridge from Ridgey, WV. to Cumberland, Md. (photo part of City of Cumberland Collection)
Here are the WM tracks leading into Ridgely Yard and beyond. Today the tracks are still in and currently in use by the WMSR.
The WMSR GP-30 is bringing the train out of the shop area over to the station in Cumberland. The former WM main was once the two weed grown tracks on the left.
Loading coal into the tendewr of the 734 early in the morning before a scheduled run. WMSR GP30 no. 501 parked at the facility.
WMSR 2175 and 199 also seen parked at the WMSR facility. This WM shop building were the former WM car shop.
The first photo most likely taken by William P. Price of WM Train 81 passing through Ridgely Yard as is heads for Elkins. H9a No. 842 leads the train followed by 824. Almost 50 years later is unbelieveble that these weed grown tracks were once so busy. These "before and after" photos were taken along the former WM main line between the Ridgely Yard and the WM Engine Shop at Maryland Jct. (10/1/52 and 1/11/97)
