An Iconic Revival - Part 1
We are pleased to bring you this short video that we recently produced for our friends at Allegany Machine Works, that gives you live action views inside and outside of their Shop.
AMW (Allegany Machine Works) is the new incarnation of the former Zimmerla Machine Works, located at 714 North Mechanic Street, in the beautiful city of Cumberland, Maryland.
This Machine Shop was established in the late 1930's by K.F. Zimmerla and was operated continually as a family-owned enterprise until the mid 2010's, when the Business was put up for sale.
Inside, machines dating from the 1930's through the 1960's are equipped with specialized tools and measuring devices, giving them the unique ability to perform precision machining as it was originally done before the era of Computers and CNC Machining.
Stay tuned for Part 2 in the coming weeks by liking and following their page at: AlleganyMachineWorks

(NON-NARRATED VERSION) The Midwestern Empress
This place has a soul of its own.
Big buildings such as TALA, usually do have souls of their own. To quote a relatively unknown Steven King TV Mini-series, "Houses...are alive. This is something we know. News from our nerve endings. If we're quiet, if we listen, we can hear houses breath. Sometimes, in the depth of the night, you can even hear them groan. It's as if they were having bad dreams. A good house cradles and comforts, a bad one fills us with instinctive unease. Bad houses hate our warmth and our human-ness. That blind hate of our humanity is what we mean when we use the word 'haunted'."
That was an awesome video !
Glad you liked it!
Bnsf and csx with 1309!? 7:58
I wished wm donated just at least one of these of these Potomac for preservation
Please do not stretch 4:3 video into widescreen 😑
Miss the days when they cared about steam & being a railroad sad what the modern management has become
It’s a shame that none of the Potomac class of the western Maryland are around today it would be a beautiful locomotive to look at
For sure.
I agree with you! Same for the real Western Maryland consolidations, 2-10-0's, and 4-6-6-4 Challengers.
Nice ! I love more history and videos about WM !
More to come, so stay tuned!
That whistle/Hancock 734 wore for many years imo is her true voice.
That could be debatable with how many different Whistles she has worn over the years, but yes, the Hancock is what most people remember.
What is the second whistle 734 had in the video? Sounds like a Boston and Maine 6 chine or a Southern Pacific 6 chime.
First was a B&O 3-chime and the second was a B&O 6-chime.
Originally built for the never completed South Pennsylvania Railroad.
Great Music Selection and Editing. Very Pocyclipse.
Thank You very much! 👍
Amazing the work it took to build this!
It truly is impressive to think of the men and machines it took to bore through the mountain on two different occasions.
Spooky🫡✌️
Thanks! Glad you like it!
That is not a 16-567C in there, it is a Turbocharged 16-645E3!!
In it's day, the EMD SD9 was a very impressive locomotive...Much better performance than the better selling EMD GP9...
Interesting factoid. In our experiences, most EMD's have exceptional reliability.
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! Great work on your Podcast!
Excellent video thank you
We're glad you enjoyed the content.
12:52 is WM Thomas Subdivision passing under Patterson Creek Cutoff near McKenzie
In February 2024 we came to Cumberland for a trip on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. In May 2024 we moved to this wonderful city and are so glad to be a part of it.
Wow! We're glad you moved to Cumberland!
Nice, I'd like to say about 1309. Its the 4-6-6-2
Is this locomotives be repaired and put back in service
The locomotive (1309) was repaired and placed back into service in 2020. However, the locomotive has spent a significant amount of time since then, out of service for additional unforeseen repairs.
Waving the flags too, nice!
The flags, and the line side telegraph poles add to the uniqueness of the shot we think.
I've riden on 2102 before it was one of the best steam excursions I've been on
We're glad you enjoyed your ride, and we'll agree with you on it being one of the best steam excursions.
Hi I think this is the only resotored Hudson? AND I think it is the only Hudson left anywhere???
Yes, it is the only restored "Hudson", it however isn't the only surviving one.
@@APSL2018 hi, and thanks for your reply. Where are there other hudsons?
Definitely the best voice for the narration.
We're glad you enjoyed the program and the narrator choice!
very nice video
We're glad you enjoyed it!
At 16:31, my photo taken Summer, 1978, @ McKenzie, MD. from the old road overpass. Warren Jenkins
Thanks to a small number of people like you, we have wonderful photos that documented the changes of our local Railroad's over the years, so we would like to Thank You!
It's crazy to think that 558 and 561 are now about the same age that 501 and 502 were when they joined the WMSR. How time does fly. I'm glad some 80s/90s GE has been preserved.
Oh the warmth in my heart hearing Danny
We're glad you enjoyed the narrator choice.
Great video! I love learning about places I've heard of, but didn't know much about.
We're glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Nice,0:10
Those old Chessie cabooses are pretty cool. I know Virginia Ave & Industrial Blvd pretty well.
3:26 is RARE cause you never usually see 5 Locomotives as Rear-DPU’s. Great catches btw!
Thanks!
It feels better watching this at 1.25x-2x speed. Wish the WMSR would actually run 1309 and 734 at those track speeds
A few of us can second your comment on operating at a higher track speed, but as your aware, money and manpower are always a issue.
734 is slowing being restored
Actual restoration has not commenced (to the best of our knowledge) and fundraising is still ongoing.
Very cool racing the locomotive. Was this done with an e-bike? I can't wait until 734 is back in service. Wheel slip around 10:21.
No, this was recorded in the bed of a pick-up truck about a year before the trail was completed to Cumberland.
@@APSL2018 wow that’s interesting that this was the last year to film on the secondary road bed before it became a trail I did not know that the trail was actually completed in 2007 very cool
Before the GAP Trail, the Railroad really was a photographers dream.
What was the serious failure 734 suffered in her final run special? Trying to find anything even videos and nothing showed or explained it.
The serious failure took place during a photo charter in early April of 2016 where 734 lost an undisclosed number of tubes during a run-by around Brush Tunnel.
@@APSL2018 Is there video of this flue failure?
I sincerely hope that the Georges Creek division still owns Alco FA-2 number 303 I think that locomotive and another engine that operates on the Durban and Greenbriar Valley Railroad in West Virginia are the only two survivors of the four FA-2 locomotives that were operated by the Western Maryland Railroad
Unfortunately, the George's Creek Railway does not own the #303 anymore. The 303 is also the same engine that you were thinking of that operated on the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad.
@@APSL2018 that’s sad
Awesome elevated commuter rail.
Indeed!
Very cool double elevated rails.
Absolutely!
I live in martinsburg I love all this local history!
We're glad that you enjoy our content.
I volunteered n this system from 1993-1995 and actually havephotos of #734's initial run and a montage of photos and audio when Green Frog came down to film #734and the FA's on site at that time. I am proud of volunteering as a helper, brakeman and fireman with a smattering of runnning the engine. It is a jewel and so are those involved, past and present.
Please send us a private message through our website as we would like to talk to you!
👊 'promosm'
After years of watching UA-cam I recently found your channel, and I love it. I lived the first 20 years of my life in Cumberland (1960 - 1980) and wouldn't trade it for the world. I didn't realize the historical significance of the Tri-State area until I move away (my dad worked for PPG and was transferred in 1980, to an office in Char. NC) .. A sincere Thank You to everyone who helps make this channel what it is. I'll do what I can to help support the APSL.
We're glad you like our channel! And we're glad that you had such kind things to say about it. We will do our best to bring you the content you like to see.
Thank you for posting this great and informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
1:43 3:25 NKP #765's Ex-Wabash Nathan 6 chime whistle
It's not Wabash, 765 wears the whistle from NKP 700, and has since 1979. It's sound has changed over time, adjustments of the bowl and whistle bell can affect the sound of the whistle.
Interesting to see the new US219 being built under the Salisbury viaduct..
Awesome video, and very up to date with the Georges Creek Valley segment. The only thing that could've made that segment better would have been to have Danny Harmon narrate that part as well. Danny Harmon was a great choice to narrate this documentary.
It was a true last minute decision to add the last segment in, but as your aware, we also wanted to be up to date. Maybe Danny would do another project? 🤔 Only time will tell.
So , 734 should be back on the rails in 2031?
Who knows? 🤔
The more donations made to 734, the sooner it will return.
