- **Event Name**: C&O Canal Association Summer Field Trip
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: On August 1, the Association will have its first ever summer field trip! We will visit the recently opened Coal Miner’s Memorial, in Frostburg, MD (see description of the memorial in the June ATP). 

Beginning at 11:00 a.m., we will board the steam-powered Frostburg Flyer at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Station, 13 Canal Street, Cumberland, MD, for a 4.5-hour round trip to Frostburg. At Frostburg, there is a 90-minute layover, during which time we will visit the Coal Miner’s Memorial, which is within walking distance of the Frostburg Station. If you wish, during your 90-minute layover you are free to explore Frostburg instead of visiting the memorial.

To reserve a seat for the summer field trip online, go to the website of the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, Frostburg Flyer: https://wmsr.com/frostburg-flyer. Review the details, including the car class you wish to ride (Coach, Lunch, Lounge, Dome, or 1309 Cab). As of this writing, adult prices range from $45-$130 for all but the 1309 Cab. Many cars—such as Lunch and Dome Class—have limited seating, so early booking is highly recommended. Be sure to select a seat on the train the departs at 11:30 a.m. on August 1, 2026. Note that Coach seating is not assigned. Those who wish to reserve a seat by telephone can call the WMSR at (301)759-4400.

Boarding begins 30 minutes before departure. For those who are not on a car that provides meals or drinks, food and non-alcoholic drinks are permitted.
