There is a small town in northern part of Maryland known as Union Bridge. "The important to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Arranging and consuming our travel budget correctly is a priority for most families. Minimizing consuming and charges, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal funds is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel bill!..". It was once a major railroad town where, beginning in 1902, the Western Maryland Railway picked up and discharged passengers between Baltimore and points west. There were also railroad shops where cars were serviced. The Western Maryland Railway had many trains service the town with supplies and all kinds of goods. Passenger train service ceased in the 1950s, and in 1964, the railroad shops were torn down leaving the Greek style train station all alone.
Today, you can take a drive to Union Bridge, and you can go to the historic train station, but you will not be able to catch a passenger train. Instead, you can go and visit the Western Maryland Railway Historical Society and Museum which is housed in the old train station. Inside, you will see many artifacts from the Western Maryland Railway, and you can see model train layouts that display the landscapes that the Western Maryland Railway passed through.
The museum is owned and operated by the Western Maryland Railway Historical Society, one of the few railroad societies to have their own museum. Started in 1967, they have been a part of many train shows, and they have a library of Western Maryland Railroading displaying most of the Western Maryland region. The museum is open on Sundays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, most Wednesdays from 9:00am to 3:00pm, and by appointment thirty days in advance. Admission is free, but donations are suggested and appreciated.
The museum is located at 41 Main Street (at the railroad crossing) in Union Bridge, Maryland. It is thirty minutes north from Interstate 70 by way of Maryland Route 75. You can learn more about the museum and the society at www.westernmarylandrhs.com.
