RAILROADS of GARRETT COUNTY
OFFERED at the B&O MUSEUM IN OAKLAND
beginning April 27
“I hear the train a comin’, it’s rolling round the bend… “
But what do we really know about the railroads and the impact on history? In this class, historian, author, and educator, Dr. Neal Brooks will describe their development and decline, main purposes, and longevity. We’ll discuss one company that is still present, the Baltimore and Ohio that is now part of CSX, and the remnants of the Western Maryland railroad. You’ll learn about several that have disappeared but that had significant impact including the Confluence and Oakland, Preston Railroad, and the Jennings Brothers Railroad. This class is intended for a general audience interested in Garrett County, and in transportation history, not just rail fans.
“And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away… “
