The B&O Museum and Western Maryland Scenic Railroad jointly announced today that C&O 2-6-6-2 #1309 will be moved to the WMSR where it will be operationally restored and put into service between Cumberland and Frostburg on the WMSR. Museum staff has begun the process for shipping the loco on flat cars to the WMSR shops in Cumberland. Current plans call for 1309 to resume service sometime in 2016. Truly a great day for the return of mountain big steam to the East.
