Railfest

Railfest

Railfest is an annual Fall event held in the city of Cumberland, Maryland. The event began in 1992, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first B&O train from Baltimore, Maryland, the first Railfest that was held in Cumberland. This was a week-long celebration of railroad related and historical events. The tradition continues each year during the Fall season to celebrate Maryland rail heritage.

Featured attractions have included a country music festival, a golf tournament, and the Philips Seafood restaurant from Baltimore. Thomas the Tank Engine puts in an appearance for the kids. The CSX Fall Foliage Excursions, using MARC equipment, typically provide all-day trips to destinations such as Terra Alta, West Virginia, Harpers Ferry or Brunswick, Maryland.
