WMSR

This video is to commemorate the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad and their 16 miles of trackage from the shops down at Ridgeley, West Virginia all the way to Frostburg, Maryland. The video will contain moments of the whistle whistle being different, the weather and the engine sometimes having the star spangled banner. All of these clips are combined between her return to service between early May to about mid-August. Special thanks to the entire crew for making 1309’s return to service in 2025 possible and for putting on a show. No matter the day, weather or crew on station. Timestamps will be included for each location. Like, subscribe and share the video.
