WMSR 734 (2)
Title:  WMSR 734 (2)
Description:  I was fortunate enough to catch this locomotive running on this day, when I had assumed it was going to be idle for the winter. The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad offers steam and diesel-powered trips during a May through December season, from Cumberland to Frostburg, Maryland. They also do special chartered photographic runs, which was the case on this day. This engine is a 1916 Baldwin 2-8-0 built in their Richmond Shops. It was pulling assorted freight cars of the "fallen flag" variety and a caboose which carried the chartered passengers.

WM 2-8-0 #734 - Western Maryland Scenic RR
Title:  WM 2-8-0 #734 - Western Maryland Scenic RR
Description:  A very "bucolic" scene (or should that be "Bovine" scene) near Cumberland, Maryland, of Western Maryland Scenic RR 2-8-0 Consolidation with freight in the background. The loco was completed by Baldwin on April 16, 1916 originally as Lake Superior & Ishpeming #18 for use as a dock switcher. It was renumbered 34 in 1924 and continued to serve until retirement in 1961. It was sold to the Marquette & Huron Mountain RR in 1963 (nicknamed "Mountain Thunder") but never operated there. Eventually it was resold to the Illinois Railway Museum for a static display. Western Maryland has owned it since 1991. It was restored in 1998 and ran tourist trains for WM Scenic RR. Unfortunately, by 2015 it was pulled from service and now awaits a full restoration and rebuild. No photographer was listed for this iconic photo unfortunately.
