Walkersville Southern Railroad
The Walkersville station is a "turn of the century" small-town railroad station built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the late 1800's. Next to the station is a small freight house built during the same period. The excursion train runs south from Walkersville, through the Walkersville Community Park, and past Fountain Rock, site of a 100-year old lime kiln. The ride continues south through the woods, and then out into picturesque Maryland farm country past Barricks Farm, established in the early 1820's. On a clear day you can view the Catoctin Mountains west of Frederick. Before returning to the Walkerville Station you will cross the beautiful Monocacy River on the reconstructed railroad bridge. The view is impressive and should be the highlight of your trip.
