Chesapeake & Ohio 1309: Winter in Mountain Maryland

In the winter of 2023, Western Maryland 2-6-6-2 1309 was returned to its historic Chesapeake & Ohio lettering for a series of photo charters. It was still wearing this Chessie guise a few weeks later when it took the point on a weekend of "Winter Service" trains to Frostburg, and the tickets to ride were only $13.09, so naturally I made sure to swing by on my way home from the East Broad Top.

Fantastic video, I see myself a few times in your video! It’s too bad our paths didn’t cross minus the point I saw you in the vestibule.

We sure do have a knack for just barely missing each other lol.

I rode the first run up and then chased the second run, definitely one of my favorite trips so far.
