- Filmed, Edited and Produced from 2020 through early 2024, APSL is pleased to release "The Line That Refuses To Die - The Story of the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad".
This feature has a runtime of 1 hour and 2 minutes and is our first in-depth comprehensive and interpretive Documentary that chronicles the history of one of Maryland's crown jewels, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.
The original title of this piece was to be "Queen of the Allegheny's" and the intention was to use WMSR 734 as a central focus that would have showcased over 200 years of history in Allegany County, Maryland.
However, with developments and updates over the last few years, the project morphed into something much larger and this version exists as the end result.
This production has no direct affiliation with the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad and has been produced entirely by APSL, with great assistance from numerous individuals and organizations to which we express our utmost gratitude!

Oh the warmth in my heart hearing Danny
We're glad you enjoyed the narrator choice.
Definitely the best voice for the narration.
We're glad you enjoyed the program and the narrator choice!
I'm detecting Danny Harmon's voice...
You would be correct.
dude is a legend.
Same!
@@APSL2018hello again railfans
I recognized Danny Harmons voice immediately!
Just click on your video and already I'm delighted to hear Danny Harmon's voice. Great narrator choice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This kinda feels something like an old History Channel documentary(or at least ones they used to run) when they were good. Neat, even more because it's talking about Maryland.
Thank You for those kind words!
I volunteered n this system from 1993-1995 and actually havephotos of #734's initial run and a montage of photos and audio when Green Frog came down to film #734and the FA's on site at that time. I am proud of volunteering as a helper, brakeman and fireman with a smattering of runnning the engine. It is a jewel and so are those involved, past and present.
Please send us a private message through our website as we would like to talk to you!
This documentary is a little bit more special to me because I rode behind 734 in it's last days. I was invited by the crew that day to come down to the shops and help restore 1309 back to operation. Unfortunately at the time I didn't have reliable transportation to make the 3-hour trip every other weekend to help with the volunteer restoration.
Glad to see it's up and running though! It's really one of my favorite little railroads.
Glad that you enjoyed the piece!
Love our local railroads. Can't wait till the George's Creek Division is fully realized.
Fantastic video! I rode behind 734 when I was in Cumberland back in 98 for engineer school with Csx. Also, we chased 1309 in 21 when she returned to service and rode behind her in 22. Very class act operation!!
Very cool!
Very nicely done - enjoyable and informative!
Thank you kindly!
Great video. I live in the area, so it was good to hear some local railroad history. Nice having Danny Harmon as the narrator too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this great and informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Love it! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Awesome video, and very up to date with the Georges Creek Valley segment. The only thing that could've made that segment better would have been to have Danny Harmon narrate that part as well. Danny Harmon was a great choice to narrate this documentary.
It was a true last minute decision to add the last segment in, but as your aware, we also wanted to be up to date. Maybe Danny would do another project? 🤔 Only time will tell.
I sincerely hope that the Georges Creek division still owns Alco FA-2 number 303 I think that locomotive and another engine that operates on the Durban and Greenbriar Valley Railroad in West Virginia are the only two survivors of the four FA-2 locomotives that were operated by the Western Maryland Railroad
Unfortunately, the George's Creek Railway does not own the #303 anymore. The 303 is also the same engine that you were thinking of that operated on the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad.
@@APSL2018 that’s sad
Interesting to see the new US219 being built under the Salisbury viaduct..
What was the serious failure 734 suffered in her final run special? Trying to find anything even videos and nothing showed or explained it.
The serious failure took place during a photo charter in early April of 2016 where 734 lost an undisclosed number of tubes during a run-by around Brush Tunnel.
@@APSL2018 Is there video of this flue failure?
1238 is coming to Waterloo Central Railroad to be restored in Ontario
I wonder if there are any surviving WMRY Tenders used for the railroad’s 700 series of 2-8-0s. There is a surviving 4-6-2 Pacific from the railroad that is on display.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no WM tenders left from their Steam fleet.
No way that’s Danny Harmon’s voice!
So , 734 should be back on the rails in 2031?
Who knows? 🤔
The more donations made to 734, the sooner it will return.
Isn’t 734 getting a 1472 done?
