For those on Trainorders.com who don't know where this is, the poster photoguycookin means Frostburg, Maryland on the former Western Maryland Railway Main line between Cumberland, Maryland and Connelsville, Pennsylvania. I am also one of the lucky folks on here who rode the WM on several excursion trains in the early 1970's before the Chessie System decided to get rid of the WM, a real shame in many ways considering the amount of freight traffic today.
Nice photos of the abandoned right-of-way.

You mention the "amount of freight traffic"....

Do you think this line is needed, that it should be still carrying rail freight? Any chance it could come back??
