- Honoring a local contractor Jim McHugh from McHugh Locomotive & Equipment, WMSR & McHugh setup a private photo event with the 1309 wearing a " McHugh Steam Special " Banner on the Front of the Engine and on the side of the cab. We were lucky to be invited to this event but instead of riding with the participants because of time, We decided to chase the 1309 to Frostburg which doing shots we never done with the engine. Lets follow the 1309 & WM 501 up the mountain to Frostburg. Enjoy!

Now if only we could get a C and O Allegheny working again.
What memories.
Awesome video of 1309!
Great video!
You sure must of been lucky to get invited to this event.
Was this McHugh fellow a key part of the restoration or something? A pretty big honor to do an event of this size for him. On a different note, isn't 1309 the second largest operating steam locomotive on earth now, after Union Pacific's Big Boy 4014?
J.C. McHugh is owner and operator of McHugh Locomotive & Crane; a contractor for the railroad who donated lots of parts and equipment to the railroad, such as the new tank car the railroad just unveiled, as well as his expertise with diesel locomotives. To further help them out, he made a deal to have a steam charter featuring 1309.
And yes, 1309 is now the second largest operating steam engine, only rivaled by the sometimes running Big Boy.
Good stuff dude. I’d love to catch this thing pulling freight sometime.
Thanks. They got a lot coming up. They do have tickets left for the Trains Fall Charter with 1309.
