Has 1309 been moved from the B&O Museum to the WM Scenic yet?
Tom
Not to my knowledge - it will move within my territory. I can't think of any way it can be moved without creating a clearance implicated shipment; unless it is cut up and moving as scrap in gons.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
See News wire for details. Show a picture of the lift onto the flat car, the front engine was removed so its down to the second engine and boiler. Tender is moving on its own car.

does this engine have roller bearings?
No
Contrary to C&O practice at the time, they weren't equipped with roller bearings. Likely because they were intended for slow speed mine runs.
that makes sense. probably extra cost for rollers not worth it for their intended service.
