Mountain Thunder's Last Battle Cry: Western Maryland Scenic Railroad

Apologies for my 2-year absence. A lot of issues have happened over my hiatus. On April 6th, 2016 the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad hosted a charter honoring their pride and joy 734. A 2-8-0 that has thundered its way to Frostburg for 2 decades thus giving it the name "Mountain Thunder.". The locomotive after April of that year was down for a 1472 boiler inspection. Via 2020, the 734 still sits at the WMSR yards in Ridgley, WV in rather sorry shape. One can hope this engine will be fixed up again after the 1309 and will continue its legacy once again someday in the future. This charter featured 734 hauling a photo freight up to Woodcock Hollow since, at the time, a washout prevented trains from going to Frostburg. It should be noted as well that 734 suffered a ruptured dry pipe near Woodcock Hollow, and the engine could not continue up the grade and had to limp back to Ridgley. And we were treated with runbys from out passenger locomotive WM GP30 #501. We were also treated with a cabride in 734 from Cumberland to past Helmstetter Curve.
