WOW! That is a great photo.  Did the 1309 move under its' own power today?  Can you give us more details?  So many people desire to go up to Cumberland to ride behind this locomotive.  It is so great to see it in the Cumberland Western Maryland Station.

Hi John, 1309 was not fired-up...I think it's being displayed at the station as part of the City's "Heritage Days" fest happening this weekend.  Sure looks impressive though!

The 1309 looks MEAN !!

Nice surprise for visitors to Cumberland today for Heritage days.  WMSR #1309 on display at the former Western Maryland Railway station.  For those still wondering about the paint scheme, it looks straight-up WM, including red cab roof and tender deck.  #1309 really looked good paired with caboose #1813 in matching "Fast Freight Line" paint.  A decent amount of restored and restorable freight cars visible at the station and around town too.  Good things happening at the WMSR!
