Eastern Railroad Discussion > Maryland Midland Railroad DerailmentDate: 05/25/23 10:00 Maryland Midland Railroad Derailment Author: ClubCar Just off the News wire, two cars of a Maryland Midland Railroad Train derailed a short time ago at the Wesley Road Crossing in Carroll County, Maryland. These cars were carrying rocks, and there were no injuries. This line used to be part of the Western Maryland Railway Main Line many years ago. No other details were available. I'm sure someone who lives near that area will give us more details and possibly some photos.

No injuries from Maryland Midland Railway train derailment in Carroll County - CBS News Date: 05/25/23 16:26 Re: Maryland Midland Railroad Derailment Author: WM_1109 Move along. Nothing to see here.
Ends up the crushed stone wasn't hazardous. In fact, the other day, they were (shockingly) dumping similar material all over their own ROW! /Ted Date: 05/25/23 16:55 Re: Maryland Midland Railroad Derailment Author: bigsavage ClubCar Wrote:

While the historic former store/station known as the "Whistle Stop Cafe" was apparently not damaged, there is concern for historical markers relating to a 1905 train wreck that happened nearby. Pics from the Baltimore Sun, which erroneously reported this as a "CSX" train...    Date: 05/26/23 01:45 Re: Maryland Midland Railroad Derailment Author: ClubCar Thank you so much Big Savage for your photos and coverage of the derailment on the former Western Maryland Railway Line, now the Maryland Midland. Again, they are great photos and I am happy no one was injured.
