City Park Train Hub is home to the City Park Railroad Museum and Steam Locomotive Engine #202. Most of the items in this collection came from the Western Maryland Railroad Company. Of particular interest are an 1885 Pump Car and an 1875 Velocipede; both vehicles transported workers to rails or rail cars to make repairs.
The crown jewel of the museum is Steam Engine 202. This Locomotive was built in 1912 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and it carried passengers and baggage between Baltimore and Hagerstown. It was retired in 1953. Totaling 77 feet in length, the engine weighs 415,000 pounds. Steam Engine 202 is the only Western Maryland road-type steam locomotive in existence. In addition to the locomotive and its coal tender, six cabooses are also displayed.
Located at 770 City Park Drive in Hagerstown City Park in Washington County, Maryland.
