Frank Bennett, contractor with Conservit, Inc., from Hagerstown, uses a propane air mix torch to burn the steel apart Friday morning as he dismantles train cars previously used for the kitchen and preparation area at the former Old Depot restaurant in Frostburg.

Approval by the Maryland Historical Trust cleared the way for removal of the deteriorated cars that were attached to the building to turn the depot into a comfort and information station for hikers and bikers on the new Allegheny Highlands Trail and passengers from the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.
