The scenery is lovely. Viewing the Eagles was wonderful. Our wait staff was exceptional. Thank you from table 12/ D car. Thank you kitchen staff for producing great food in that tiny kitchen. My only negative comment is that the layover in Peterson would be better shortened to 2 hours.

We had a wonderful experience on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad! The train ride was relaxing, the mountain scenery was beautiful, and the vintage railcars made the trip feel like a step back in time. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and well-organized, making the entire experience enjoyable from boarding to arrival. The stop in Frostburg was a nice opportunity to explore the town and even support local vendors before returning. Whether you're a train enthusiast or just looking for a unique day trip, this is a great experience that's well worth it. We would definitely ride again!

Worth every single penny. The staff are so knowledgeable, and friendly, that I'm honestly blown away. Some folks may argue the tickets seem pricey, however for the line they operate, and amenities/experiences they offer it's absolutely worth it; matter a fact, I'd say it's actually a good value compared to other tourist railroads of similar caliber in the East Coast.

The equipment was clean, and nicely kept, the views were great, the ride was very smooth & enjoyable.

Would reccomend, and would definitely do it again!

Dan was our host extraordinaire, serving as an educator, entertainment and waiter on our excursion on the Frostburg Flyer 8531 Janet Lepley, steam engine, from Cumberland, MD to Frostburg, MD. I purchased the Lunch Class ticket so my train car had about 10 table facing bench style seats and the menu included several lunch choices (4) as well as adult beverages at an additional cost. You meet at 13 Canal Street on the 2nd floor in Cumberland, MD where you collect your ticket inside the train station. The trip up and back was a magical experience and the locomotive engineer provides a leisurely 12-15 mph stroll along the majestic countryside of western Maryland. A must see once you arrive in Frostburg is the Thrasher Carriage Museum which has a rare and extensive collection of horse-drawn carriages. Tim provided an expansive historical overview of many of the carriages leaving in me in awe of this period in time. Entrance is free with your train ticket! Consider trying the Tracks and Yaks rail biking as well. Another fun outdoor activity to share with family and friends.

I cannot say enough good things about the experience and staff! My wife and I booked a table on a valentines dinner train. The staff was attentive and the food was fantastic - it far exceeded our expectations for dinner on a moving train! The only downside was that we couldn’t see many of the sights as it was too dark. Since we had stayed in a local hotel that evening, we decided to book a 9am ride in coach the following day to see the sights. Upon boarding, the engineer Dave announced that he was offering rides in the cab for a small up charge. My wife and I both being train nerds jumped at that opportunity, and we are so glad we did. Dave was extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us a guided tour. He also answered our numerous questions about the locomotives.
