[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] Thanks for the link to the Western Maryland Scenic. I made a great weekend trip there and rode their train fifteen years ago when I was a graduate student in College Park, MD. Maybe someday I'll get back to Cumberland again.....my wife used to enjoy that area as a weekend getaway when she lived and worked in the DC area as well. (Of course in the DC area it's all about getting OUT of town.) Thirty to forty minutes ought to be plenty for Cumberland if the train is on time. If you call ahead and get a report that it's, say, 30 minutes late then I would allow 45-55 minutes ahead of the predicted late time.....it might catch up a little though losing more time is more likely. I rode the Capitol westbound in mid-April and that night we paused for a crew change just before reaching the Cumberland Amshack. I don't know if this is standard or not.....I'm guessing so. I don't know if you've ever seen the mid-1980's movie 'The Untouchables' with Kevin Costner, Robert DeNiro, and Sean Connery BUT if you have, the stairway where they filmed the shootout around the baby carriage is in Chicago Union Station.......just ask someone to point out the 'Untouchables' staircase.
