#1309 is the rock star of eastern historic RR. I contributed to the final push to get her restored in 2021.
thank you for sharing this with everyone
We are happy to share our passion with everyone.
I knew that was Danny talking!!
So different from what the area looks like now.
We couldn't agree more.
I am interested in seeing the dynamometer report on all 4 of the locomotives.
If you could send us a direct message through our Facebook account and we should be able to get you a copy of that.
RIP Kathy Z
I remember this day like it was yesterday!
It was an interesting perspective to watch from the train and see you guys recording.
They look similar to NYCs Niagara's.
If 765 had an auto Stoker, then why did the fireman have a shovel? Was it for pushing the coal around the firebox so it doesn't jam the Stoker?
Sometimes, the Fireman can more easily hit the corners and rear of the Firebox as opposed to the Stoker.
Awesome. This is 2006.
Thank You Colin!
Really great video. I enjoy the history of the steam era here in our country. Subscribed.
We are glad you enjoyed the video and welcome aboard!
Nicely done!
Thank you!
These are great videos.
Thank you for the kind words.
Great video😊
Thank you 😁
Reading the accounts of the men who ran these, those that ran them on the flats loved them, and on the mountains hated them. Overall they were great fast freight machines. The most loved by crew (on the mountains) were the challengers (which goes against the narrative) and my personal favorite were the I2’s.
Thanks for sharing your insights, that's really interesting!
@ grab copies of “working on the western Maryland”, there’s 2 volumes. It’s all real accounts from a ton of steam era engineers, and everyone else from shop workers to the Vice President. It’s all spelled out right there and the stories are beyond amazing. Highly recommend!
Working for a company picking up Railroad ties, I got a chance to visit Mance and the Postoffice 📫. It was in the winter. Nice place. Not long after, Railpace Magazine did a story on Mance and the Postoffice. To my surprise, the pictures had the piles of Railroad ties that I'd moved. Showed my boss, he thought it was cool 😎.
That's a pretty awesome story, and it's great that you got to experience that. Mance is always a great place to visit!
@APSL2018 Planning to go back sometime soon to explore the area more 😊👍.
I've rolled many a virtual train over Sand Patch on Train Simulator World. I've also gone over the line on Amtrak. Not being a major B&O fan, this is an interesting video.
We hope you enjoyed the video even if you aren't a B&O fan! Some of us are more fans of the Western Maryland Railway.
Great well done video. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
I read that in 1941 the B & 0 sold 600 acres including the first tunnel to William Stone . Then in 1944 he removed the eastern portal stonework and used it in the foundation for Stones Tavern. This tavern was later known as the Rainbow Lounge and the "Sand Patch" marked stone is visible in the basement wall. This building still sets on the corner of rt 160 and the Meyersdale/Glade City road.
That's really interesting, thanks for sharing that!
Just found this channel. I grew up in Hyndman and didn't know there was more than one tunnel at Sand Patch. All the men in my Dad's family worked on the railroad except me and my Dad.
Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel!
Excellent documentary. I have a copy of the old construction records and reports on the totals of time and materials used in the construction of the tunnels.
That's awesome! It would be great if you could share them with us sometime.
Just found your channel. Love to see a history of BO West yard. Even Dawson yard.
Thanks, we'll consider it for a future video.
Thank you for this documentary on this fine engine. We owe William "Bill" Price our gratitude for preserving steam in video and photos for generations to come.
We agree wholeheartedly.
What whistle is on it in this video?
Western Maryland 5 Chime from the collection of Kevin Rice.
i was a machine apprentice in the modern era - after viewing countless machine shop videos i've begun to wish for ancient videos showing the casting moments for Munro and Bridgeport etc. (more than likely don't exist)
That would be great if such videos existed of casting processes.
@@APSL2018 - agreed. we've all seen casting, -machine specific would be cool / informative.
Good lord, is that Cumberland and Pennsylvania number plate authentic ? I've never seen one.
No, it's a reproduction.
EXCELLENT footage and historical shots!
Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it!
When was this filmed?
was not 2024!!
These scenes were shot between 2021 and 2023 and we were hoping that the 1309 would operate this year, so we could be able to include that footage as well. However, as most are aware, that was not the case.
Love that hooter whistle!
We're glad you enjoyed it!
That echoing howl of the whistle from 2:22 to 2:55 is very haunting. It sounds the ghost of a long-scrapped steam locomotive (an N&W A or Y6) that has returned to haunt the rails forever.
We are glad you enjoyed the video and that classic "Hooter".
8:36 That Potomac Whistle was beautiful on her. How come she didnt keep it?
No clue, but it would have been a preferred one to keep on the Locomotive.
1:17 Nice to see Western Maryland 734 doing switching duties (or should I say doing shunting). Just like Thomas have to fetch coaches and freight cars for the bigger engines! Daylight 4449, J class 611, and UP 844 are the important Tender Engines (or Important Road Engines), and Road engines don't shunt. 734 will always be my number one engine just like Thomas! Note: 734 is built in 1916 the same year the last LBSCR's E2s (Thomas' basis) 107, 108, and 109 were built)
From a Rusting, lifeless hulk of iron & steel to a restored, living, fire-breathing beast once more. Just goes to show that if theres a will there's a way
1309 is now a snarling beast. Well done.
Well done. A lot of youtubers that do documentaries, add a bunch of pictures that don't even apply. Real professional !
We appreciate that! We try and use pertinent materials for all our pieces, however, material isn't always available so we do the best we can.
Machine shop porn. Love it...
This place has a soul of its own.
Big buildings such as TALA, usually do have souls of their own. To quote a relatively unknown Steven King TV Mini-series, "Houses...are alive. This is something we know. News from our nerve endings. If we're quiet, if we listen, we can hear houses breath. Sometimes, in the depth of the night, you can even hear them groan. It's as if they were having bad dreams. A good house cradles and comforts, a bad one fills us with instinctive unease. Bad houses hate our warmth and our human-ness. That blind hate of our humanity is what we mean when we use the word 'haunted'."
That was an awesome video !
Glad you liked it!
Bnsf and csx with 1309!? 7:58
I wished wm donated just at least one of these of these Potomac for preservation
Miss the days when they cared about steam & being a railroad sad what the modern management has become
It’s a shame that none of the Potomac class of the western Maryland are around today it would be a beautiful locomotive to look at
For sure.
I agree with you! Same for the real Western Maryland consolidations, 2-10-0's, and 4-6-6-4 Challengers.
Nice ! I love more history and videos about WM !
More to come, so stay tuned!
That whistle/Hancock 734 wore for many years imo is her true voice.
That could be debatable with how many different Whistles she has worn over the years, but yes, the Hancock is what most people remember.
What is the second whistle 734 had in the video? Sounds like a Boston and Maine 6 chine or a Southern Pacific 6 chime.
First was a B&O 3-chime and the second was a B&O 6-chime.
Originally built for the never completed South Pennsylvania Railroad.
Great Music Selection and Editing. Very Pocyclipse.
Thank You very much! 👍
Amazing the work it took to build this!
It truly is impressive to think of the men and machines it took to bore through the mountain on two different occasions.
Spooky🫡✌️
Thanks! Glad you like it!
That is not a 16-567C in there, it is a Turbocharged 16-645E3!!
