734 has the distinction of being the first steam locomotive I rode behind as a kid, while visiting my great grandmother who lived in West Virginia.

It's a really cool locomotive. I hope they put it back in service sometime. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful locomotive. Winter is the best time to see steam trains.

The cold air does make for great steam. I had a lot of fun on this excursion. Thanks for watching!

Superb! Love stem on snow. Now I live in Western Australia so no snow in my neighbourhood. Thank You!

We live in an area that almost never gets snow, so I can relate. It was worth the trip to Maryland to see this one. Thanks for watching!

Really incredible all around - there are not many running locomotives that can take you back a century and let you get a sense of the sights, sensations and sounds of a steam engine like this one. Very enjoyable video as always …

Hey Mike! It's a fond memory for me, too. I had a lot of fun that day. It's probably the best excursion I've been on. Thanks so much for letting me tag along!

You know I love this show I would love to see you all go into model train shows and shows us what you buy I think that would be an awesome addition to the show.

I haven't been to a model train show since before the pandemic, but if we get the chance to go to one, maybe I can talk Nichole into following me around with a camera. Thanks for watching!

A wonderful presentation. In my opinion, there's nothing that warms the heart more than steam on a cold winter day. Any one for a round of hot chocolate and donuts?

My wife and I rode that from Cumberland to Frostburg at about the same time frame. When it got to the turntable at Frostburg, they did 7 or 8 360's on the turntable, faster than you would ever imagine a turntable could turn. They have since restored a Mallet the 1390. I did a photo shoot on the Cass Railroad. Got to ride in the cab for a little while. The firebox looked like the center of hell

We only got the one spin on the turntable, but that sounds cool. I don't have the footage anymore but I did get to ride in the cab of 734 for a bit. It doesn't matter how cold it is outside, inside the cab of a steam locomotive it's always hot! They had two people shoveling coal. Thanks for watching!

Really cool to see you in my neck of the woods! I live just one mountain ridge over from Frostburg and have grown up with the WMSR and Cumberland being my home town. I play acoustic music on many of the evening excursion trains that the scenic pulls during the summer and fall months. As of now, 1309 is down and in need of some pretty serious work, but money is being raised to once again restore 734. Hope to see you out this way again someday!
@DanielCortopassi8 ай бұрын
I'm glad you liked the video. That's too bad about 1309. It was still being worked on when I filmed this video. I was hoping to get back there and see it running. Maybe Nichole and I will make it out that way sometime, and maybe listen to some of that music on an excursion. That sounds really nice. I'd like to see the area again when it's warmer. Thanks for watching!
