Cumberland Hump Memory ... Early 1990's
Author: DTWilson

Shortly after the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad rebuilt the LS&I #34 as WM #734 the locomotive made a trip the CSX Cumberland Yard Hump to be Weighted. Guess it would be safe to say, this was the last steam locomotive under steam on the Cumberland Hump - Early 1990's

The early morning sun was a killer trying to get a decent shot on the hump.

When was that hump built? Not only was it the "last" it might have been the "only" steam on the hump. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a hump yard using steam engines.

Looks like Danny Pluta at the throttle.
