Great news for this grand lady! The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad announced today that it will acquire #1309, a C&O 2-6-6-2 mallet, and return the locomotive to operation. The 1309, the last domestic steam locomotive that Baldwin ever built, will be the first articulated locomotive in the east to be fired up since N&W #1218 last saw service two decades ago.
An attempt to put the best picture of engines that represent each of America's railroads. When a better picture of an engine/type is found, it will be added.
