#1309 Rolls Forward As Super Heaters And Appliance Installation Gains Momentum

Ridgeley, West Virginia, June 22, 2018:
Western Maryland Scenic Railroad and Diversified Rail Services are very proud to announce additional progress in the ongoing overhaul of Western Maryland 2-6-6-2 #1309. Since the successful hydro has been completed an impressive checklist of appliances and parts have been reinstalled.

• The top row of Type-A super heaters has been installed. There are a total of 36.
• The cab floor, stoker elevator tube and grate shaker levers are installed.
• The grate structure and ash pan are attached.
• Steam and water pipes for the injectors are being fit up.
• Steam lines for the blower and air pumps have been attached.
• Grinding and cleaning up washout seats

With many specific needs in the pipeline, a creative solution to contribute to our progress is as follows:
$4,014 – Arch Brick and Stoker Screw Repairs
$4,449 – Boiler and Pipe Lagging
$4,501 – Steam and Water Pipes for Injectors
$4,960 – Boiler Jacketing

“Thank you,” to all concerned for your generous financial support. “Thank you,” for your continued vision to see this project come to fruition. “Thank you,” for the many compliments on our completed progress thus far.

Since anything to do with 1309 has been a... touchy subject (to say the least), it's great to see such detailed updates being posted and the information getting out to the public. I hope this is a sign of things going in the right direction.
