Steam & Excursion > Starting on the Grade: 734 Puts on a ShowDate: 03/16/17 12:22 Starting on the Grade: 734 Puts on a Show Author: Appalachianrails 4/2/2016
On a "Farewell to 734" photo charter sponsored by the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, the 734 puts on a great show of sight and sound for a photo runby as it starts moving on the middle of the grade from a complete stop. This was somewhere between the Narrows and Brush Tunnel. Enjoy and thanks for watching. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 03/16/17 12:29 by Appalachianrails.

Why is there some guy hanging off the side/rear of the caboose?

Marty Harrison Knob Noster, MO Date: 03/16/17 15:12 Re: Starting on the Grade: 734 Puts on a Show Author: Tominde The guy on the cabloose? I assume he is a conductor or brakeman to tell the engineer he is clear of the photoline. But he wouldn't really have to lean out to to that, just look out the back railing.

Well, if that was indeed a staged run-by, with paying "photo charter" participants, then SOMEONE should have told that guy to stand on the rear platform of the caboose, like a REAL RAILROADER! Such a "pose" would then have made a nice going away photo, in my opinion.

------------------------------------------------------- > hope we see the 734 soon Are you not aware that 734 has "run out of time" on her FRA mandated 15 year boiler certification? Unless you are very young, you probably will NOT see 734 in operation for quite some years, especially since all efforts are currently being focused on 2-6-6-2 compound C&O 1309. |
