Model Trains Brings out the Railroader in Everyone

Visitors to the Pennsylvania Maple Festival won't want to miss the Model Railroad Exhibit at the newly restored Western Maryland Station. The station is located at the very top of Main Street. Visitors must cross over the current CSX Rail Line and walk up a slight incline for 2 blocks.

The model railroad exhibit will be open to the public, free of charge, during the regular festival days (March 21-22 and March 27-29) hours (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Visitors will see several different layouts featuring scenes. The model train show is sponsored by the Meyersdale Area Historical Society.

Take time to talk to our model railroaders and share stories. There's plenty of rail history at the station too, so take time to see it all.

Meyersdale has a rich rail history. It is located along the CSX mail line between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Maryland. Meyersdale also had the Western Maryland Railway line.

Rail buffs from all over come to Meyersdale to see the Salisbury Via Duct, the Keystone Via Duct, Sand Patch, the Sand Patch Tunnel, The Savage tunnel, and of course, the restored Western Maryland Railway Station. Many train buffs come to Meyersdale to enjoy the spectacular scenery and mountainous terrain.
