Thank you so much for sharing these photos as they bring back many memories of the old Western Maryland Railway that was taken over by the Maryland Midland.

Nice set, taken 6 months before I would land in Thurmont, and become very familiar with the MMID.
The embankment along Woodside Ave. has become completely covered in shrubs/small trees since these 2009 pics were taken of a Westbound UBHF with 4 GP's.
