Ya. When they took 734 out of service they said its going to have a couple thousand day refreshment. But then they never started working on it. But now that 1309 is close to being done I think they will give it about a year then start restoring her.
No, it has been confirmed by WMSR that 734 is way past worn out and a full rebuild isn’t within fiscal range for them to even consider working on 734. Almost everything is going to focus on 1309 more than likely.
Oh my she’s looking beautiful in that WM livery!
Ya. I like it a lot better than the Chesapeake and Ohio paint.
@@haydenharman2351 definitely! Nothing beats the Western Maryland paint scheme
@@BNSFGuy4723 Ya I think your right. I cant think of a better paint scheme for a steam engine.
@@haydenharman2351 I’d say Southern Railway green is a close second. 1401 looks so beautiful in green
@@BNSFGuy4723 ya
Can’t wait to see this girl hauling the polar express steam excursions on Sunday December 19, 2021!
Ya. I already got tickets for the dome car on those dates.
That's one small tender for an articulated engine
I was thinking the same thing
I’ll have to go see her when she’s running!
They are selling tickets for it on the 17, 18, and 19th of December.
She’ll run before then, they have to do test runs before she hauls a train.
ya
I heard that wmsr 734 is going to be rebuilt
