True, I really think WMSR picked the wrong locomotive to restore. The 1309 has been sitting outside for over half a century, and it wasn't really maintained well by the C&O in the first place. I think before they picked a locomotive to restore, they should've evaluated the condition to see if it would've been a good project for restoration. That or not restore another locomotive and instead get started on 734's FRA inspection and overhaul as soon as possible. Sure it will be cool to see an articulated locomotive on WMSR, but I'm not sure when or if that will happen. The WMSR needs our help for this project now more that ever if it will be done in a timely manner.
