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.

@evanf1293 2 года назад

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.

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!

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.

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.
