Description edit
This website came into being primarily as a place to share my photos of the Cumberland area and trip reports from railfan outings. It was inspired by Matt Reese's truly brilliant Northern West Virginia's Railways website - a favorite of mine ever since I discovered it.
With the abundance of photo sites nowadays appearing on the web, mtnsub.org's focus has changed. This site tries to provide railfans with useful information, historical and current, to plan and take along on trips to the area. It is left to the reader to judge on the success of this endeavour, and to provide suggestions for improvements.
The Mountain Sub is arguably the most interesting, difficult to railfan, and thought-provoking of the three subdivisions radiating out from Cumberland. Primarily a coal hauler today, it had mainline status until the 1980s when most overhead traffic was diverted to the Keystone Sub.
