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.
As some of you may know, I have more than a passing interest in cycling. On the 16th of May the professional “Tour of Norway” passed my way. I arrived early at my chosen vantage point at least an hour before the riders turned up. People were already out and about eagerly awaiting the riders and,given the next day was a national holiday everyone was in a festive mood.
