Western Maryland Autumn Steam

[@evanf1293]

Even though it has been nearly 8 years since 734 last saw Steam, not only is she still my favorite consolidation, but happy knowing she'll run again and that 1309 will be in charge of all future steam-powered runs at WMSR until the day comes 734 is back in operation.

Maybe they’ll double head 🤔

@@RibbonRailProfuctions I mean, its a thought but for now its gonna be a few years til one happens.

@@evanf1293 yeah ik, but one can dream haha

My favorite consolidation hasn’t ran in 11 years! It is a sister to the engine here, LS&I #18 from 1910, previously worked on the Grand Canyon and Mount Hood Railways before having a stint on the Rio Grande Scenic and eventually moving to the Colbrookdale Railroad in Pennsylvania

Wait, are they leasing 1309 or do they own it and is keeping it when 734 comes back?

[@davidstrawn9272]

Even though Daylight 4449, J class 611, and Big Boy 4014 were my favorites, but 734 remains my number one locomotive. Speaking of number one, 734's built in 1916, that's the same year the last three LBSCR's 0-6-0T E2 Tank engines (Thomas' Basis) were built!

Awesome Train

[@FloridaStateWX]

As someone who has been on steam-powered passenger trains before (mainly the small ones at Disney), my next goal is to see the bigger steam and possibly get into a cab of a steam locomotive.

[@FloridaStateWX]

Btw, wasn't Western Maryland featured in Steam in the Autumn?

Awesome video 🚂👍🚃

[@raymondsheets5583]

I am planning to visit this railroad to see 1309, but hopefully I get to see 734 in the future as well. Also, I think the B&O 3 chime sounds best on 734.

Awesome locomotive

Very nice Steam video :)

[@ronwong6102]

Very cool!❤

[@BlueCometDude]

I’m surprised the narrator they use for these videos is still commentating these photo run-by videos. I remember his voice from some of the old Railway Productions DVDs.

The heart and soul of wmsr

That’s a Lovley whistle the 734 was wearing.

When's He Coming Back?

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

The date hasn’t been announced, but it is likely that it will be returning 2 to 5 years from now.

[@HinckleyBranchRailfan]

Christopher Walters, Are you talking about the 734? It’s been announced that the railroad is raising funds to get her back into service but it will still be a couple/few years sadly.
