Western Maryland RR Station ~ HWW!
front side of the historic 1913 railway station in Cumberland MD sculpture dedicated to the C&O Canal workers and mules
The C&O canal, which begins in Georgetown (DC), was originally planned to go all the way to Pittsburgh. The arrival of the railroad put an end to those plans, so it never made it past Cumberland. This is the beautifully restored 1913 Western Maryland Railroad station, which today houses offices and the Visitor Center for the C&O Canal Historic Park.
