Located in City Park ,the Hagerstown Railroad Museum features hundreds of signs, signals, bells, telephones and tools that were used by railroad workers every day. Most of the items in this significant collection came from the Western Maryland Railroad Company. Of special 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. Totalling 77 feet in length, the engine weighs 415,000 pounds. Steam Engine 202 is the only Western Maryland road-typ steam locomotive in existence.

In addition to the locomotive and its coal tender, eight cabooses are also on display.
