No Longer Available in VHS (See below for link to DVD version) Cumberland, Maryland sits strategically at the eastern base of the Allegheny Mountains. 150 years ago, the B&O Railroad reached Cumberland and constructed a large terminal to support operations over its two legendary grades west of Cumberland: the West End and Sand Patch. Iron Horse America visited Cumberland Terminal from 1992-1993 to take an in-depth look at how B&O's successor, CSX Transportation, now runs the railroad. You'll enjoy inside views of active railroad towers, hump yard operations, the freight car maintenance shop, and the locomotive servicing complex. Interspersed with this detailed look at Cumberland Terminal, you'll see bustling mainline action in the town of Cumberland. A variety of trains pass through and are switched at the Baltimore Street Interlocking. At the same time, CSX F-units are preparing an excursion train for a trip over the mountains. You're even treated to a ride behind a steam locomotive as the town celebrates the Terminal's 150th Anniversary! So look forward to a fascinating tour of B&O's famous terminal and a fast-paced conclusion as we visit Cumberland, Maryland in Volume II of Into the Allegheny Range. 80 Minutes In Color with Stereo Sound and Narration Packaged in Colorful Cardboard Slipcase Produced by Iron Horse America 1995 |
