There's a subtle "#1309" on WMSR's calendar for December 17-18-19, running their seasonal Polar Express.
Big steam returns to the East Coast!

This is exciting stuff! I was hoping to find recent video of it operating, no such luck.
It does look absolutely fantastic however! Those dark rods are sharp. ( not my video)
#1309 was out today making test runs. Look online and you can find pictures at Cumberland station. As one of the many who said "I'll believe it when I see it" for many years -- I finally believe it!

Looks like a trip to Cumberland is in store in the Spring!
This is great news, and a great looking restoration and paint job, stunning!
Lionel please start working on an O gauge WM 1309. I am going to want one! 
I know where they can get a WM boxcar. Heber Valley Scenic RR.

Why would a passenger carrying tourist railroad want a boxcar, from all the way out in Utah?
The guy behind the "WM" boxcar at Heber Valley was formerly employed by the WMSR and is a big WM fan...gotta do something for your self every once in a while

Western Maryland Scenic runs frequent photo freights with vintage equipment.
