This is a historical moment! Can’t wait til the other steam locomotive restoration projects are completed and up and running again! Let the next generation of steam operations commence! It started with UP Big Boy 4014, and I was there riding behind it and 844 at Spike 150.
That would be interesting but personally I kind of like it with the hooter. Not sure if its an N&W or C&O hooter, it all blends together half the time lol
@@rogerlollar4325 Track leading up to the turn table is too tight of a turn for 1309. WMSR needs to do work on their tracks at Frostburg still before they can move it onto the turntable without damaging the locomotive.
Welcome Back Chesapeake and Ohio 1309!! Steam on!

Reading 2102 will be amazing to have back, along with 2100 when it is ready. This is crucial to helping preserve history.
Fantastic video.
Thank you!
Wow
1309 needs the Hancock whistle back on her!

It’s an N&W Hooter for now, but she’ll likely wear multiple whistles while thundering up the Western Maryland mountains.
Hello, is there a way we can communicate privately?
What about?
@@Tidewater312 well if you wouldn’t mind, I would like to use some shots for a music video.
Why does 1309 have a diesel if she's an articulate
Safety precaution in terms of braking when backing the whole train downhill from Frostburg to photo locations since they couldn’t turn 1309 around.
@@Tidewater312 why not
