Shot of it pulling into the yard at sunset is a perfect ending! Great work on this! 🌇🚂
Thanks so much B and O, sorry I got.in your shot!!
@@RailfanRowan No problem at all, glad you got to see it!
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR hey I seen this train on your video on it haha!
@@evangroves641 Cool, thanks for watching!
I am glad it is back in service it is a beauty
Despite this restoration taking longer than many expected this was still worth the wait, hopefully before 1309 is scheduled to pull those polar express trains in a few weeks the crew will be able to do another test run but all the way to Frostburg til time. Fingers crossed.
Apparently those tests are pending track work, per another user
@@RailfanRowan yeah the tracks sure were groaning alot, sounds like walking in the snow with the crunching sounds lol
Excellent video Rowan!! The old girl looks C&O but definitely sounds N&W. Hearing her in the distance sounds like the 1218. Nothing beats the smell of oil, grease and coal smoke.
Seeing a former C&O loco done in the Western Maryland's scheme is so cool.
And the N&W hooter whistle just fits for 1309; it's like a part of 1218 rides with her.
Great shots!
Yes I agree with you
I wish they would’ve put 1218‘s whistle on the 1309
Even though 1309 is an older design then 1218
When I think steam power , that whistle is what comes to mind, something hauntingly beautiful about it. Thinking about what that sounds like off in the distance at night brings chills . Great video awesome editing
Thanks so much Keith, to GOD BE THE GLORY!
There is almost something sad and mournful about 1309 whistle.
Love the conductor in the blue flannel 😍😍
Aaahhh Conductor Cameron here?
Man, that first crossing shot where it stops and the last three shots of the video are some of the best I’ve seen of 1309 so far! Great video, Rowan!
Thanks so much, be sure to share with friends!!
What a great restoration to this original C and O engine.Paint job is flawless.Thanks for posting.
You're welcome!!
The first 20 yrs of my life was growing up on Cash Valley Rd, about a qtr. mi. down the road from Helmstetter's farm .. the WM was our playground in so many ways .. crazy cool getting excited about watching vids of trains on what used to be a typical Summer day with my brothers and friends .. you're great at what you do, Rowan, keep it up and Ill keep tuning in .. Thanks man
The video was just awesome. Almost like being there. Love to see these heritage steam locomotives. What a treasure!! Thanks so much for sharing the excitement.
You're welcome James! As always, thanks for watching!!
That whistle is awesome It sings to your soul. That is one fine engine.
Love it love it!!
Fine job! Enjoy the energy and the "come along with me" feel of your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks man, I appreciate this compliment!!
This is the best 1309 video I’ve seen!
Thank so much!!
This was my favorite video of all. So professional at the beginning giving context and then we could all just focus on and enjoy the train. Thank you for the extra editing and cinematic work. Happy Thanksgiving from Lynchburg railfans!
Thanks so much for the compliment, SHV! Glad you enjoyed the style of this one, is exactly how I intended it to be enjoyed
Last Time we seen a Steam Train, you and friend were Chasing it through So. IL and to St. Louis.👍
That's right!!!
Thanks Rowan! Great to see your video again. Thanks! 👍
Beautiful! And what a mighty voice she has!
She is incredible!
Oh damn it’s cool seeing all these steam engines coming back to life. I seen a video recently if the great late Southern Pacific #2472 do like a test run after it’s restoration. I haven’t see that thing move in a long time. Nice to this man!🔥
Thanks man!!
This is awesome! Very nice, clear & crisp footage of this beautiful locomotive, and train.
Thank you!
She sure is a beauty. Thank you for filming her for us. I love trains, but must admit steam trains are my favorite. So romantic and nostalgic.
Very beautiful, thanks for watching, June!
The Steam Engine is a thing of beauty. The whistle, the billowing steam, the sound as it takes off and gains momentum. It takes you back 150 years to imagine these Iron giants gliding across the prairies blowing its whistle. It stops and brings us everything we needed, provisions, people and anything else you can think of. Great Video, thank you.
Some very amazing thoughts from a far off fantasy world! This locomotive gives a close taste
B E A U T I F U L 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the crew talk segments
Awesome Video Rowen ! Had A Fun Day As Well, And It Was Nice Meeting Up With You Again!
Good to see you as well!!
As your usual!!! Awesome footage Rowan. Especially nice to see success of this renovation in video!!! Thank you for recording this historic event
You're welcome! Thanks for choosing one of mine again!
Fantastic Job Rowan! 37 thousand subscribers let’s go! Famous on TH-cam!
Thank you 🤗
Wow that thing looks incredible in the Western Maryland livery. That's got to be one of the most photogenic locomotives I've ever seen. That shot of it stopping at the railroad crossing is just beautiful with the fall colors and huge plume of steam and smoke. They even painted the rods with black inlay, such a good restoration.
I completely agree!
I’m so damn proud of 1309
This is so cool to see 1309 up and running!
Just great thanks for the up close and first-hand view Rowan you are the best.
Thanks so much Chuck!!
Now living out near Seattle, I can't wait to come home and ride this. I still miss 734 and wish they didn't let it deteriorate as much as it has. At least put a cover over it.
Any idea if they plan to restore the 734 since the 1309 is operating?
OMG! I Just Don,t Have The words.. Dear lord! What A Beautiful! Lady! Living,Breathing, Lady. what A Deep Fantastic Voice She Has. Almost sitting Her In Tears. I Hope to Be able to Meet Her Someday !
Thank you for documenting this test run of the #1309 on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. The #1309 seemed to perform without a hitch (exept for the problem with the whistle). The sky looked beautiful as the train was proceeding back to teh yard. Thank you for uploading this video for our enjoyment!
You're welcome and thank you as always Thomas!!
From Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum to the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, this engine is all around Chessie System.
That's right, should be painted as such!
@@RailfanRowan Like 2101.
So many things on the plate! One,a real Baldwin Articulated,last of its kind! Two,one super whistle,that stirs the heart strings,! And three,your usual superb photography,plus that artistic eye,! Rowan,Happy Thanksgiving,and may you and yours,enjoy this grateful day! P.S. When you consider that some,ex-C&O,switchers would up on the Virginian,it's really right and proper that the Western Maryland gets its dibs in,as they ran quite a few Articulateds in their heyday!! Thanks for your efforts and time!! 😇!😇😇😇😇😇💯💯💯💯💯💫💫
Great shots. I grew up in Ridgeley next to the tracks. Love the sound of the trains.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic Rowan. Just Fantastic. To bad she lost her whistle.
It'll be fixed in no time, and like someone else said on here, that's what they get for running an n&w hooter lol
So cool Rowan! Thank you for going up there to get this footage!
You're welcome, Ulysses!!
Truly awesome video, Rowan! 1309 looks like a beast and I can hardly wait to see her in person.
She's definitely worth the trip!
Great job filming this! That’s an engine type I’ve never seen. Fun!
Thanks so much!!
LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF SANDBLASTING AND POWDER-COATING. BEAUTIFUL JOB.
They really out did themselves!!
Wow what a 2-6-6-2 Mallet steam locomotive. Thanks for sharing Rowan. LJL
I remember seeing her rot away in the parking lot yard of the B&O Rail Museum in the hood in West Baltimore when I was a little kid. Never thought she'd be on the rails again.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful
Stunning!
I remember seeing her rusting away at the b&o railroad museum as a kid and now here she is back under operation
Dreams do come true!!
I love your channel. My father and I used to watch trains run the rails here in the DC area when I was a kid. Fast forward to when I was in college in Frostburg I found out about WMSR 734 Mountain Thunder and was sad to hear of its retirement but happy to see 1309 getting up and running and hope to go to Cumberland in the spring or summer for a ride.
Thanks for the comment James, glad you enjoy the stuff!
@@RailfanRowan Speaking of 734, I wonder when 734 will run again
This is the most beautiful articulated I've seen, and the cherry on top is the hooter whistle.
That's right!!
One word- WOW. That is simply amazing.
Thanks North County!!!
Keep these magnificent pieces of engineering alive!
That's right!!
Great video, Rowan! It finally happened. I contributed financially, but my modest contributions pale compared to the 'sweat equity' poured forth by so many into #1309's refurbishment. Your excellent video really captured this magnificently restored engineering marvel in action. Thank you.
You're welcome, so glad I could showcase the craftsmanship!
AWESOME! Can't wait to visit WMSR next year!
Any idea why they didn't turn 1309 around in Frostburg?
Out of daylight is my guess, testing is better done when one can see all moving parts!
I’ve heard that much work has to be done to get 1309 to utilize their whole line including the turn table. How much work has been done and has yet to be done I couldn’t tell you.
They ran mountain thunder backwards often with the diesel probably providing dynamic braking and visual requirements.
@@RailfanRowan I understand that they need to re-grade the approach to the turntable to allow 1309 to use it.
Good to see you back, RR. Well; you u pulled another great one out of the bag. *chef’s kiss*💋
Thanks Charlotte! I appreciate the compliment! TGBTG
Welcome back, 1309.
Wow, great steam locomotive 👍
Exciting seeing the 1309 test run! Magnificent photography!
Thank you Phil!!
Excellent video!!! That poor locomotive had some tight curves to go through.
That's right!!
Great video!
Thanks buddy! ;)
Awesome!! Wonderful filming Rowan! Thanks so much for the message as well !!! All the best and happy thanksgiving.
You're welcome!!
No way!! She’s back I loved that locomotive lets gooo
Yes!!!!
Absolutely fantastic camera work with so many beautiful shots. I cant wait to see some of the stills. Hope they get the whistle fixed it just makes the whole thing sound so cool. Thank you!
Check my Instagram for stills, they are all screenshot from my videos, I only shoot film! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Great footage Rowan!! Glad you were able to capture this!! I'm a huge Western Maryland fan, it's my favorite railroad.
Yay! Hope to meet you there on the 16th
Fabulous loco. Fantastic project 👍👍👍. To accomplish that in seven years is good going!
Richard Trevithick would be thrilled.
I never knew these locos took top air through the firebox sides. How about that?
American steam is so fabulous it would bankrupt the English language to describe it.
Thanks for the capture, nothing like a hooter echoing off the hills and the Del McCoury special! 🚂 😎 👌
Flat out AWESOME!!!
Thanks Matt!
Very cool shots!
You probably don’t remember me but I used to work with you in 2018 at a lovely store I won’t name and you were a wealth of knowledge on these beautiful machines.
I remember you ;) thanks for check it out, hope you're doing well man!
Great that another railroad has brought a steam locomotive back into service.
Chuck, isn't it great!?!
That was an amazing video, and that stunning sunset at the end was the cherry on top! 👍👍
Thanks so much!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY, for that sunset
She is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Love the whistle.
You bet, TGBTG!!
Unpopular opinion maybe. This is the billowing, belching behemoth I was expecting when 4014 was restored. I know it’s mainly because they never let her pull anything remotely challenging, but on the 1309 you can just see and feel the power. I wonder how much it has to do with keeping her a coal burner? Love the video!
Great to know that they’re finally up and running, I’ll have to get out there at some point soon.
Yes definitely!!
Man, that hooter whistle is just MADE for big Appalachian articulateds! At some point, I’ve got to get down to se the WMSR! Thanks for bringing us along for the journey!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!!
So Great to see this Engine back on the Rails. We live about 3 1/2 hours away in WV. Definitely gonna ride it.
C'mon up!!
If 1309 is still around by the time i make it though med school to become a surgeon, i will 100% pay bucko bucks or my whole salary just to learn how to operate steam locomotives and hopefully get the chance to drive this beautiful engine, honestly 1309 is insanely impressive and a great example of human engineering
Great video. Thanks.
Beautiful Shots
Been watching a few videos on this run. Probably the best coverage of this operation by far
Thanks Kyle!!
Rowan what a fantastic locomotive.Seeing it run again is awesome,hope the whistle failure is a minor repair and more videos of the 1309 are forthcoming.thanks for the kick ass video and happy foaming
Thanks Joe, happy foaming and thanksgiving to you sir!! God bless you!
Awesome 👏 video! Love the camera angles and close ups! Such an awesome sight seeing that train 🚂 restored ! Never knew they had that much smoke! Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!!! TGBTG!!
very nice shots Rowan!!
Rowan your videos are fun to watch and the high resolution / quality of them is great! There's lots of steam loco footage out there but I love the segment starting at 7:25 when she stops before crossing the road. Thanks for sharing your work!
One last addendum- YOU LUCKY STIFF,RIGHT TIME,RIGHT PLACE,AND A BUNCH OF OVERWORKED GUARDIAN ANGELS,!! WELL DONE!!
How are you doing tonight good evening happy thanksgiving day tonight I love all of your train videos on TH-cam everyday videos
Wow. That’s gotta be the best shot at the end
Thanks so much, and yes I agree!!
Great work all round
Thank you Zal!!
Thank you for posting this awesome video cant wait to see 1309 in person!
So cool!
Very well produced video. Can't wait for excursions to begin!
Thank you! TGBTG!!
I heard about 1309 when it was still out of service in 2010 and now to see this engine actually running once again gave me a good surprise. I haven’t seen 1309 in person yet since I live in PA but she looks glorious
Def come pay a visit!
Great job and this is great news. I have been waiting many years for this like lots of others.
Thanks for watching, Richard!
WHAT A BEAST !
Absolutely incredible!
It sure is a nice locomotive. 👍🏻
#steamlocomotive #beautiful
Sweet Video! A beautiful addition to the Western MD team. I couldn't help but notice that some of the tracks are in need of some work. Watching the helper engine sway too and fro over the old rails made me nervous. Nice work. Can't wait to take an excursion next year!
Work on the rails has already commenced, it is being completed in phases I believe this is why they haven't run to Frostburg yet, correct me if I'm wrong somebody
Western Maryland sure did a fantastic job with the paint holy cow. Looks brand new from here.
It's quite spectacular!
Nothing like steam on a fall or winter morning!! As someone else mentioned in another comment, love the shot you got at 7:16 when they had to flag the crossing. Happy (after) Thanksgiving.
Thanks Artie ! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, TGBTG
Nice to meet you in Shenandoah with 1065.
Been awhile since your last post, I was wondering if you were ok, I see you are fine, Great shots, my dad was a C&O man, wish he were here to see this beloved engine🙏🏻😿🚂👍🏻 thanks Rowan👍🏻
Thanks so much for sticking around!!
@@RailfanRowan I'm with ya! Always👍🏻
First 611 comes back again, then the Big Boy, and now this C&O giant.
Now THAT, son, is what "Rollin' Coal" is all about!
THATS RIGHT!! ONLY COAL I ROLL!!
Nice, ex C&O Western Maryland with a N&W whistle.Excellent video, thank you.
Thanks for watching Marco!!
ha, same thing happened to us this year with the whistle, it turned. No matter how tight you get that valve, boiler gets hot, and suddenly its loose.
Heat expansion I imagine, hmmmmm. They'll have to come up with a solution
I love the sound of its whistle.
I love your videos rowen happy railfaning
:)
