2006 LAYOUT AT THE B&O MUSEUM DECEMBER 9, 2006 - PAGE 2

WESTERN MARYLAND RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY LAYOUT

SALISBURY VIADUCT - in this classic Western Maryland scene, a pair of red and white diesels cross the silver steel trestle, with the B&O's tracks below.

T-1 IN THE ROUNDHOUSE - This Reading T-1 4-8-4 Northern is dwarfed by the expanse of the B&O's Roundhouse.  This museum had a T-1 for many years.

POPPING OUT OF BRUSH TUNNEL - The brightly colored diesel has just entered a bright sunny spot to the delight of the railfans.

RAILFANS - The railfans are casting a shadow on the track as the afternoon sun beams down through the Roundhouse's large windows.

BACKLIT FREIGHT CARS - The angle of the sun brings out the detail nicely on these HO cars.

DIESEL ACTION - the first-generation diesels overtake a caboose as they are about to negotiate Helmstetter's Curve, another classic Western Maryland location.

READING STEAM ON THE WESTERN MARYLAND - The two railroads were on friendly terms and in fact shared trackage between Hagerstown and Harrisburg.

MORE READING STEAM - Sorry, I'm a Reading fan, and I just had to add one more picture.  This is #2124, one of the four Reading Rambles engines.
