Start at the Meyersdale Station. Stay inside and see the great exhibits while Evelyn clears the skies.

OK.  Look at all the blackberries. Remember this spot. Oh yeah, Bethy’s got that locked.


We’re going UP here, just a one percent grade, but UP nevertheless. 
The Keystone Viaduct, just 900’ long.

See the Wind Turbine.  The Two Ridges project has 64 along here.  The whole county is on wind power. (There ARE a lot of Amish in this county, but …)

Big view from the top.  All the way to Cumberland.

All downhill back to Meyersdale.  Whee!

One more Highlight,  the big Salisbury Viaduct 1908’ long and HIGH.  Feels like you’re flying here.
