Steam & Excursion > WMSR announces fund-raising for #734Date: 02/03/25 09:17 WMSR announces fund-raising for #734 Author: bigsavage Western Maryland Scenic has announced a joint fund-raising project for 2-8-0 #734, out of service since 2016.
Robert Van Camp, of PBS's Great Scenic Rail Journeys, is matching all donations up to $10,000 to kickstart the campaign for "FIRE UP 734!"

She no doubt needs a good bit of running gear work. I remember her sounding kind of lame toward the end back then. Love the way she looked and sounded. Date: 02/03/25 21:46 Re: WMSR announces fund-raising for #734 Author: Mgoldman But will it fit on the turntable? Lol - kidding.
Great news - the question is, can WMSR afford two operating steam locomotives running simultanesously. Let me rephrase that - will it be viable to have two operating steam locomotives. No doubt, necessary for transistion once 1309 nears her 15 year rebuild. Would be wild to see either make visits elsewhere - as once anticipated for a Lerro charter with 734 way back. Hey - CSX, you interested in a short term loan(s)? /Mitch Date: 02/04/25 18:46 Re: WMSR announces fund-raising for #734 Author: ACR_Ted Date: 02/05/25 00:15 Pix of WMSR 734 from 2007 Author: prr4828 A thread from 2007, with pix of WMSR 734:
