I don't know what scheme will be used on the 1309. Myself, if had a vote, would be the fireball.

I do know that the caboose is going to the earlier scheme, not the fast lettering it wore in the past.

Yes, the "Man O' War is leaving, I don't like to be negative, but I think that's a mistake. Made a lot of photos and some video out those big doors. As far as I know, they have no cars with opening windows.

I rode the Potomac Eagle a few times, they have an old car that they cut big openings in, not open and closing windows, what fun to ride in that one and make photos or videos. We had fun yelling at the boaters on the Capon River, too!

These types of excursion trains usually run slow, making open windows when weather is good a nice addition to the ride. The big open windows on "Man O' War" would have been a nifty place to be when 1309 was working the grade up out of Woodcock Hollow!
