As my friends and I cycled along The Great Allegheny Passage Trail in October, we heard the sound of a train whistle. Much to our surprise and utter delight, the Frostburg Flyer came around the curve! “The legendary steam locomotive no. 1309 departs from Cumberland, Maryland, and carries passengers through the breathtaking Allegheny Mountains to Frostburg, Maryland”. The 150 mile GAP Trail is part of the Rails to Trails movement which creates multi-use public paths from abandoned railroad corridors.
