Rusted Rails Photography

Rusted Rails Photography I take train photos of trains with dslr and a drone. My main focus is on worndown, rusty, and older trains, but I also do seasonal shots.

If you use older photos of mine on your posts please GIVE CREDIT!

CSX Mountain Sub overtop and the C&BL, sorry i mean WMSR below. Great timing on this one. The rain really helps with the environmental aura.

The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad recently acquired Conemaugh and Black Lick 111 last minute in 2025 before it would’ve gotten scrapped with the other C&BL lockmotives last year. Its safety was acquired by McHugh Locomotive, the Kovalchick Family, CSX and of course the WMSR where it has a new home.

She runs regularly as there are switching duties in Ridgeley Yard as well as Cumberland Station from time to time. She cant tackle the mountains alone, but can make appearances to the beginning of the narrows without assistance from the other engines.

These photos were taken during in the middle of the Fireball Photoshoot where Western Maryland Scenic staged run-byes for Johnstown Pennsylvania esq photos of 111. This scene looks more like Johnstown than Johnstown currently does. This is supposed to be 111’s last appearance in Bethlehem Steel black & yellow paint.

Rumors are circulating that its getting a historically inspired Semiquincentennial paint job.

I look foreward to painting a model train of it. I already have made decals for C&BL 76, the bicentennial unit the old company did. I bet it is going to be similar in appearance. My logos/decals are about to be found on my hobby website near the bottom of the page at:

Picked this rusty, sharp heavily worn track up past the narrows of Cumberland, Maryland could this have been Western Maryland track? Could it have fallen out of a gondola carrying scrap? Im not familiar with WM track gauges to tell if was theirs or another railroads. I just don’t know.

I was planning more shots to do in the woods between bone cave and brush tunnel and I found this on the side of the tracks half buried in dirt and weeds.

I’ll sand off the rust and polish it later on once I get more sanding wheels.
