- After a 7+ year restoration, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad returned C&O 2-6-6-2 #1309 to service in late 2021. The engines first photo charter would be a Trains Magazine sponsored event in February 2022 that BLP attended where the articulated steam engine pulled a freight consist on the 16-mile line from Cumberland to Frostburg. Dressed in a Western Maryland paint scheme, the engine put on countless runbys at locations that hadn't seen steam in 5+ years and thanks to a brush cutting effort by volunteers and the railroad, many classic vantage points were re-opened. Enjoy!

Timed out to 13:09. Well played.
Actually it's 13:08 sadly.
DON'T DELETE THIS RUclips VIDEO ! :-D
At c.0:41 in the first sequence, of 1309 starting, after the cylinder cocks are closed, the exhaust is high pitched anf sharp, then suddenly becomes deeper and throatier. Does this mean she switched from simple to compound operation? If so, was this controlled by the engineer or automatic? I know N&W's Y-6s had such a setup to provide maximum tractive effort for starting and low speed lugging.. Was it standard on all Mallets?
Awesome locomotive, curious why so much steam is pouring out of the cylinders.
Probably a leaky cylinder cover
sometimes great billows of steam, sometimes cruising w/ almost no steam. what's the diff?
The temperature of the air is atleast part of it. When it’s colder the steam is more likely to show itself.
Lots of factors, as someone else said, tempurature can affect how much steam hangs in the air. It was colder Saturday than Sunday. Also depends on how hard the locomotive is working.
This engine at that time needs steam leaks fixed, look how much the crew visibility ahead is reduced.
Also I hear a clank clunk every revolution when it goes by, also the exhaust is unbalanced.
This engine needed more work at that time, maybe its better now.
