Steam & Excursion > WMSR/C&O 1309 on the move!

From the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad Facebook page:

C&O 1309 supposedly left the B&O museum last night and was transferred to CSX. That's all the info we know at this time. We will update as we know more and are able to.

--
Hoping to catch this move (whenever it happens) - so stay tuned!

Overnighted in Locust Point, unclear as to when CSX will move it to Cumberland.

Follow the WMSR Twitter Feed (@WMSRSteamtrain) or Find them on Facebook, they'll be posting updates as they get them throughout the week.

Hearing 1309 in CSX Locust Point Yard as of this morning. Crew call
for 6:00am Wednesday morning for train L341 to go on Old main line
routing to Cumberland. Not 100% but good.

I got a "members and donors" notification today at 11 AM which
stated that #1309 is scheduled to be moved overnight tonight
(7-21-2014) "sometime" and will arrive in Cumberland "tomorrow".

Happy hunting - and bring those flashes and Alien Bee's!

...or a video camera!

Here's a photo of her at the restoration shops last week. There's another post purportedly stating that the move is supposed to be Wednesday at 2AM, but that conflicts with it supposedly being moved tonight and be in Cumberland tomorrow.

It appears that CSX has delayed the move by a day, although we (WMSR) have not been officially notified.
