Recorded on December 17, 2021. At the WMSR Rigley shops in Rigley, West Virginia.
The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad finally pulled it off, formerly the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, Baldwin built, H-6 1309, now the WMSR N2B 1309 had been under the welders torch for a few years getting painstakingly restored to operational condition. And after a few test runs to prove 1309's readiness, and earn a FRA approval, it was time for the big event, for 1309 to pull the Polar Express for 3 days, Friday through Sunday.
However for me, even though I had planned this trip in advance, had a hotel booked, and was planning on filming 1309 on all 3 days this event was cut short as after I filmed 1309 pulling out of Ridgley I went over to the Cumberland station. And while walking up to the platform, my camera fell off the tripod hitting the pavement and damaging the camera.
Camera was sent off for repairs and found out due to the drop, it had broken the FPC lens mechanism.
