Steam & Excursion > Finally Seeing 1309Date: 11/07/25 18:17 Finally Seeing 1309 Author: jlamd11 After waiting many years, I finally got the chance to see WMSR 1309 operate a few weeks ago. The engine is incredibly impressive and seeing it run was definitely one of the highlights of my railfanning life. Here are some pics:

The following day, I biked to the tunnel and watched it proceed up grade through the tunnel. Posted from Android Date: 11/07/25 22:43 Re: Finally Seeing 1309 Author: oyw Cool shots!
