C & O Steam Locomotive 1309 tribute - "High Iron in the Hills" - Not just another train song, but a tribute "to the largest operating steam locomotive of its type in the world." 1309 was the last mainline steamer built in America by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1949, and is currently owned and operated by the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. It has been almost a year since 1309 moved under its own power for the first time in over 64 years. A monumental accomplishment of this magnitude deserves to be recognized, and we can think of no better way to tell the story of 1309 than with a song.
High Iron in the Hills (Tribute to C & O Locomotive 1309) - by Mike Stand
On the C & O Railroad, 1949
Hear the whistle blast from 1309
Built in the Baldwin fac’try, Philadelphia PA
T'was the end of an Era, and the last steamer made
Oh there’s high Iron in the hills there’s high Iron in the hills
In the mountains of Kentucky, and West Virginia you’ll find
A Mallet in the valley and its 1309
A Mallet in the valley and its 1309
It’s a cold afternoon, but the steam is runn’in HOT
1309 's given it all its got
From the yard at Peach Creek, to the Logan county line
Up the winding grade, to the Lundale Coal mine
Late in 1956, the time had come, 1309 made its final run
Pushed aside, not forgotten, til one December day
They fired up the boiler n’ brought ‘er back to steam

The Altar Billies are a trio from Orange County California fronted by guitarist/vocalist Michael W Stand. Rounding out the group are Johnny X on upright and Chuck Cummings on Drums. The group covers many classics hits, as well as newly penned originals.
The fellas have been playing all over Southern California for coming up to 10 years now. They've enjoyed such venues as the Anaheim House of Blues, The Observatory in Costa Mesa, Orange Street Fair, Silverado Canyon concert series, as well as many clubs in the OC area. They have also opened several times for local OC icon Big Sandy, as well as for Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats..
As of late, group has found itself producing songs and videos about restored locomotive steam engines and railroad lines. The restoration of Big Boy 4014 and Union Pacific Railroad has been a huge topic of the Altar Billies, but they have extended their musical and lyrical "Branch lines" to include songs about "The Virginia and Truckee railroad" and the restoration of C & O locomotive 1309.
In 2014 they released their first full length project: "Head'n Out West" Each song on this project is a testament to the band's firm believe in God, family and country. There is more to this group than meets the eye, as this 15 song musical adventure sought to establish the group as a viable and serious rockabilly/ Americana act. "Head'n out West" brings plenty to the table and more, in a "Spirit of lightening" that will surely keep you rock'n, and and move'n.
2016 found the fellas hitting the trail once again with their latest release: “Long, Long Road.” With this project the group has fine-tuned their sound so that it is “as sharp as a tack.” “Long, Long Road” finds Michael W expanding his songwriting skills to incorporate aspects of swing jazz with songs such as “Hot,” “Tumbleweed,” and “Hot (Big Band Version).”
The Altar Billies are proud to carry the rockabilly torch and keep this musical heritage alive, and relevant. They are 3 swell guys that work hard, play together really well and have a good time in the process, and "yes" they like trains." - Hudba
In the C&O Railroad, 1949, hear the whistle blast from 1309,
Built in the Baldwin Factory, in Philadelphia, P.A,
It was an end of an era, and the last steamer made.
Oh theres High Iron in the hills!
Yeah, theres High Iron in the hills!
In the mountains of Kentucky, West Virginia, you'll find;
A Mallet in the Valley and its 1309.
A Mallet in the Valley and its 1309!
Its a cold afternoon, but steam's running HOT.
1309's giving it all that she's got.
From the yard at Peach creek,
To the Logan County line,
Up the winding grade,
And the Lundale Coal mine.
Oh theres High Iron in the hills!
Yeah, theres High Iron in the hills!
In the mountains of Kentucky, West Virginia, you'll find;
A Mallet in the Valley and it's 1309.
A Mallet in the Valley and kts 1309!
Late in 1956, the time had come,
1309 made it's final run.
Pushed aside, not forgotten,
'till one December day,
They fired up the boiler
And brought her back to steam!
Oh theres High Iron in the hills!
Yeah, theres High Iron in the hills!
In the mountains of Kentucky, West Virginia, you'll find;
A Mallet in the Valley and its 1309.

Congrats!!
Glad to have her back.
amen my friend!!
I'm listening to this on a crappy cell phone this song has such a clear Chris sound to it you can't help but love it
Thanks so much, glad you noticed..worked really hard on the production of this song to make it "crisp," yet simple.
I absolutely LOVE these songs about these great steam locomotives. I can listen to these type of songs all day. I am hungry for more of them! You guys are awesome with these wonderful tributes to the great legends of steam.
Thank you so much for the positive response. We have more train songs coming - so stay tuned!
@@TheAltarBillies may I suggest a locomotive? Southern pacific 4449
@@loganbilbrey2414 Southern Pacific 449 is one of my 3 favorite steam locomotives. I have the Kato N scale Southern Pacific 4449 & the 10 car Morning Daylight set which is my excursion train on my N scale Pacific West Coast Railroad. I will be running it when my permanent layout is ready to run trains.
@@loganbilbrey2414 We have a song written called "Coast Daylight" - just trying to find time to record ...first we have to do a song about the Burlington and NKP railroad...sty tuned
Ty for replying, I ain't going anywhere yalls music ain't playing!
C&O Mallet locomotive #1309 was returned to Steam and pulls the 1st excursion on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.

Build by Baldwin in 1949 for Chesapeake & Ohio Railway.

We brought a Class J back, we brought a big boy "Wasatch" class back, and we bought a mallet back. What locomotive will be next to restore a be brought back other than Pennsy T1 5550? Also happy holidays TheAltarBillies!
I would love to see the SP Cab Forward on display at the California Railroad Museum brought back to life.
1218! definitely 1218 I'd like to see her running again!
@@rudycarlson8245 1218 is missing a bunch of parts, but i would love to see the 457 cannonball on the rails
@@rudycarlson8245 but your forgetting the fact that it's also expensive to get the 1218 running again, i mean it was expensive to get 4014 running, same for 611, and even 1309.
LONG LIVE AMERICAN STEAM🚂!!!!
A Mallet in the valley
And it's Thirteen-O-Nine
A Mallet in the valley

I play the song High Iron in the hill by the Altar Billies on my cell phone. It would be nice if n7mber 1309s tender would be its original Chesapeake & Ohio tender on the WMSR. I’m going to tell my youngest brother to visit the WMSR in the spring or summer & ride on the excursion pulled by 1309.

40 L-1’s were built, but sadly, only 2 are preserved.

1309 is big boy 🚂tenderless train
Indeed it is big...the last of its kind!
13o9
Is it “Mallet in the valley” or am I just jumping to conclusions since 1309 is nicknamed “The mallet” or something
like that?
Yes.."mallet in the valley" (pronuounced: Mal-lay).. If you click the little area in the credits that says "show more," you will be able to read all of the lyrics and info about the song. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!!!
@@TheAltarBillies Thanks, much appreciated!
But there is a bigger train than 1309
Yes there are - we never claimed that 1309 was the biggest locomotive..only that it was one of the last built by the Baldwin factory.
1309 is the biggest engine in the usa
Kimberly, it sure is!!
ALLLL ABOARD
1309 2 6 6 2
Indeed !! Thank you my friend!!
Thomas and hengray
Fred and Wally
0:40 is it just me, or was that video reversed?
Good eye brother! Your the second person out of many to catch this...all in good editing fun!
Big boy knockoff:
(Im not insulting, im just saying how it looks like big boy)
Yep, its similar...1309 is made by Baldwin, while big boy was manufactured by ALCO.
The train is from ohio
Indeed....Chesapeake and Ohio to be exact
ohio
Indeed!
