Curvy
The 17-mile route from Cumberland to Frostburg has many sharp curves. In this image I liked how I could see the front of the engine and the caboose at the same time.
Chesapeake and Ohio No. 1309, also known as “The Beast of the East”, is a H-6 class 2-6-6-2 "Mallet" type articulated steam locomotive.
It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, PA in 1949 for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway and was the last engine made by Baldwin for domestic service.
After it retired from active service it was placed on display at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD. It was acquired by the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad (WMSR) in 2014 and eventually restored to operating condition. It made its official debut at WMSR on December 17, 2021.
