We hiked in Cumberland and stayed overnight on our honeymoon in Frostburg back in 1985.

It's about 30 minutes west of Hancock in Cumberland. The 1309 runs from there up to Frostburg, MD. several times per week. A great place to see it is at the station in Cumberland.WOW!!!
I’m out there all the time. Where is the RR? Hancock area?

I drive thru Cumberland a lot, and have never seen it either.
And if you’re there, Puccini ( just east of Cumberland)has a really good wood fired pizza. We get one about every time thru.

Wonder what is gonna be hooked to the 'head end'? Certainly not a rail speeder. I don't believe they have the 'cajonies' to pull that. Maybe a Hi Rail truck?

The individual carts mostly coast since it's a downhill grade. They also have pedals. The "tender" at the rear can push if necessary.

But what goes downhill has to go up at the bottom...lol Didn't look at the pictures close enough to see any pedals honestly.
