Well, everybody has an opinion about 1309 and they all stink, including mine! 😳

Rich mentioned that people don't ride tourist trains for the "authenticity" and he is correct. I rode from Akron to Pittsburgh behind a "C&O" Berk, yeah right. Hey, I knew that the sand and steam domes were "out of place" but it still was a great ride. But how would the FWHS feel about painting 765 pink with Lionel Lines on the tender for the "Lady Lionel" Special. I guess if it made money, they would be OK with it.

I think the WMSRR should keep 1309 as a Chesapeake & Ohio not because I am a C&O fan, but to preserve history. The WMSRR does have great handicap access. Kudos.

I know it all comes down to money, but if you do it right, you can have both historical accuracy and ridership.
