Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum

[@KandWRailroader]

Thank you for the tour!

[@MarkNieting]

Back in the 70s the roundhouse was wide open and we could walk in and take pictures anytime. It was amazing: Sharks, PAs, BL2s, Reading, even old steam…T-1s, etc.

wow

There's a Western Maryland 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive (Number 202) in Hagerstown City Park. Been there since it was donated by the Western Maryland in the 1950s. It's in bad shape. There's currently a very heated debate whether to keep it in the park to continue to deteriorate, or donate it to the Western Maryland Scenic to get it rehauled to operating condition. It was originally donated to "The children of Hagerstown", but today's kids don't really have an interest or even understanding of what it was. I think it's time to donate it and get it running again. It deserves better.

wow

4:08 is a "wagon top" caboose used by the B&O. Hagerstown also used to have a steam engine just shoved into the weeds there.

[@hmsjr0154]

The wagon top caboose and wagon top boxcar were originally built in Keyser wva. It was done so the B&O would not have to layoff employees during the Great Depression!

Just found your channel. I enjoy local railroad history, thanks for the video. My wife and I will need to visit sometime this year. 😎👍

[@crissrails7539]

The engine on third level of the Christmas layout was a model of a Pennsylvania K4. Walter Jackson HRM Board Chairman

We visited shortly after the roundhouse was razed, unfortunately. There was a small steam loco sitting out in the yard by itself, rusting away. I hope it has found a home. We used to ride a lot of train trips sponsored by WMRY historical society, and for a few years, I was also a member. You're quite entertaining by the way😁

I was there a couple of years ago while waiting to deliver a load (ex trucker here) and the museum was closed. I definitely walked around outside to check out the CSX trains in the yard and the old pieces on display. Was the old streetcar still outside by the parking lot? I also walked down the road a bit to the model train store there and proceeded to spend a bunch of $$ on some trains. Glad I finally got to see the museum. Thanks for the video!

[@crissrails7539]

yes. by the parking lot

[@StephenRanalli]

The Caboose is a B&O Wagon Top Style Caboose.

[@brianberthold3118]

that blue car was a bay window caboose

[@kompst_tu]

I didn't know they had an actual roundhouse behind that building. I always thought it was just what they called their museum.

[@crissrails7539]

There was indeed around house at the same location which was built-in 1939. demolished in 1999. One of the few remaining buildings from the complex.

[@dustinstoner6195]

The roundhouse was about a mile away.

[@therailbaron18]

3 minutes in, and he calls that Baldwin diesel switcher a "car". *takes first shot*

[@crissrails7539]

My bad, I guess I just got a bit too excited in the moment - CrissRails

[@genislebastard3491]

I believe that blue one is a type of caboose

[@dustinstoner6195]

Too b bad the old roundhouse isn’t still there
