Western Maryland Railway No. 202 is a preserved 4-6-2 "pacific" steam locomotive built in 1912 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Western Maryland Railway. The locomotive was used for pulling various passenger trains of the WM over the course of 40 years. In 1938, the locomotive was refitted with Walschaert valve gear, replacing its original Baker valve gear. In 1947, it was converted to burn oil and stayed east of Cumberland after the conversion. No. 202 pulled its last revenue freight assignment in 1952, and it was subsequently retired and donated to the city of Hagerstown, to be displayed in City Park, Hagerstown, Maryland.^[2] It is one of only two surviving Western Maryland steam locomotives and the only surviving mainline WM steam locomotive.^[3]^[4]

No. 202 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It spent so much time being exposed to the elements and vandals, that it was cosmetically restored in 2008 for a cleaner appearance. In late 2024, the Hagerstown government have considered to donate No. 202 to the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.^[5]
