Tristans Trains

Tristan and his dad (Mike) love to travel all over the US for trains. Our favorite spot is Cumberland, Maryland spending time with the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad / WMSR 1309. Of course, there is plenty of other action in the area with the CSX Cumberland Terminal close by. Our 2nd favorite location is Ft. Worth Texas and surrounding areas, there is always lots of action near Tower 55 and we have made this a place to visit for the past several years. Our most watched videos (Thomas the tank engine) come from another hot spot located in Ronks, PA and the Strasburg Railroad. We are currently laying out plans of places to visit for the remainder of 2025 and 2026. Until then we will do our best to keep the trains coming to you!
