Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum, Mainline Hobby Supply in Blue Ridge Summit Pa. If you want to watch real trains Norfolk Southern's Lurgan Branch runs through the area as well as CSX. Highfield Maryland (literally next to Blue Ridge Summit) is an interchange for the Maryland Midland Railway & CSX. Penn Mar park is on the mountain. It's just a regular park now, but it used to be an amusement park back in the early 1900s designed by the Western Maryland to get more riders. The whole area is chock full of history! There are some great books about the area. I live minutes away from Hagerstown on the Pennsylvania border.
