Your generous donation plays a crucial role in supporting our mission to preserve and operate historic locomotives and passenger equipment in the scenic mountains of Western Maryland. These iconic trains are not just relics of the past; they are living pieces of history that offer a unique and tangible connection to our heritage.

Operating and maintaining these historic trains requires significant resources.

Beyond just maintenance, your donation enables us to continue offering memorable and educational experiences to the public. Through train rides and interactive exhibits, visitors gain insight into the rich history of railroads and their impact on the region’s development. These experiences foster a greater appreciation for both the engineering marvels of the past and the importance of preserving them for future generations.

In essence, your support helps us keep these historic treasures alive, allowing them to continue telling their stories and inspiring curiosity and admiration in all who encounter them. Thank you for your support!
