Reply to "Western Maryland Scenic Railroad"

I've ridden most of the trail (in bite size sections) over the years - great rides and scenery.  Being quite a "senior" we often ride it one way - down hill.  Using an outfitter, we and are bikes were transported from the Cumberland station up to Deal where we started our mostly downhill ride ride back to Cumberland, stopping in Frostburg for lunch and view of the train.  We timed it to get some bicycle pacing of 734 on the run back to Cumberland after lunch.  For those not wanting the full bicycle ride from Deal one can arange with the railroad for a one way trip with a bike from Cumberland to Frostburg, and then you have a 100% downhill bike ride to Cumberland.  IMO the Allegheny Passage bike trail is one of the best rides in the east, along with the Virginia Creeper trail on the former N&W Abingdon Branch.
