This is the day of transition between the C&O Canal Towpath and the Great Allegheny Passage. We begin at the Western Maryland Station in Cumberland, which is the terminus of the C&O Canal and the zero milepost for the Great Allegheny Passage. Since the latter trail will run alongside the Western Maryland Scenic RR, we take the steam train to Frosburg. At that point we catch a shuttle around the unfinished part of the trail, resuming in Meyersdale.
My camera broke in Cumberland. The pictures from Cumberland to Frostburg are from Larry Brock. The pictures in Pennsylvania are mine, from a scouting trip for the ATA trail interpretation committee last April.
