The Maryland Midland Railway (reporting mark MMID) is a Class III short-line railroad operating approximately 63 miles of track in central Maryland.[1][2] It was originally headquartered in the former Western Maryland Railway station in Union Bridge, Maryland: it has since moved to a new facility across from the old station.[3] The railroad has been 100% owned by Genesee & Wyoming since 2008

The railway currently operates from Highfield, Maryland (west) to Glyndon, Maryland (east), via a two-mile loop through Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and also from Woodsboro, Maryland (south) to Taneytown, Maryland (north).[2] The line terminates north of propane dealer Ferrellgas near Angell Road.
