    My hat is off to the engineer who said cut off the diesel, we will start this train on the grade, and make it.

    Thank you for the upload. Watching that engine start upgrade, on helmsters curve, with 10 heavy coaches was just awesome

    the section from October 8th 1995 was really impressive to see 734 go from Helmstetters curve almost all the way to Frostburg with 10 cars after the diesel was cut off.

    It’s a shame what condition the 734 is in now. All for that endless money pit that is the 1309. Fantastic video. These definitely were the golden years for the WMSR

      Hey I like the 1309! Don't call my boy 1309 a money pit! The reason why it's taking this long is because of a theft! And why they chose 1309 over 734 is that it's able to pull More, it's a younger locomotive, and a locomotive that deserved to run again. Don't get me wrong I like the 734 but do you think that 1309 doesn't deserve some time to shine? Well I think it does! Plus the 1309 is almost ready to go. And the golden age of the WMSR is coming soon again!

      Allegheny loco's are cool. Give the 734 some time for restoration.

    That sounds like a Southern Pacific GS4 Hancock whistle similar to Southern Pacific 4449's whistle

      The 3 chime used in 1993 and 95 was the WM 3 chime from I2 decapod 1114. The 3 chime in 94 was an IC 3 chime from a scrapped 2-8-2 mikado. The bell from its earlier years was from 2-8-0 # 816.
