Western Maryland Railway References - Web Sites

I thought it would be really useful if I catalogued all the books, magazine articles and links I've found relating to the Western Maryland Railway.  This is a bibliography of WM-related materials, if you will. This page lists only web sites.

If you know of a website that has useful information on the Western Maryland, please email the WebMaster at this address: . All websites will be evaluated for appropriate content before being added to this list.  Commercial sites will get extra scrutiny :-)


A Aubrey Bodine Photos
Site contains : Photographs of Steam and Diesel Locomotives, Bridges, Yards and Workers
From Jennifer Bodine:

In 1952 the Western Maryland Railway Story was published. This volume has been considered to be in a class by itself in the annals of railroad history. A. Aubrey Bodine was the photographer who produced the contemporary photographs published therein.

His daughter, Jennifer, has developed a website with Bodine’s photographs, including his unsurpassed train pictures. Bodine’s images are now available as digitally restored reprints and note cards.

www.AAubreyBodine.com contains 4000 posted images with more to be posted shortly. A special link of Bodine’s railroad pictures, including those of the Western Maryland Railway, is available at the above link.

Please visit our website and see the beauty of trains that Bodine captured with his incomparable eye.
