Charlie Pyles of Cold Spring, Ky., has a request that may be of interest to Maryland railroad and history buffs: “I was wondering if you would ask your readers to share information and photos they may have of the Western Maryland Railroad. I have a project started that revolves around the Elkins Yard down in Elkins, W.V., but I’m seeking unpublished photos of Western Maryland trains and stories with photos of Western Maryland people. All material will be scanned or photographed and promptly returned to the donor in the same condition received. Any materials are intended to be used on the web site http://www.shakylake.com/wmrr.htm. The purpose of the project is to keep the memory of the WM alive for future generations. Information can be mailed to: Charlie Pyles, 238 Misty Cove Way, Cold Spring, KY 41076-8513. Phone calls are welcome 859-442-7334 or e-mail cpyles@shakylake.com.”  Sounds like a worthy project to me. Feel free to copy this blog on any particularly fine pictures.
