Steam locomotive 1238, Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, WMSR. Operating turntable 1989... Video Clips. Duration : 6.33 Mins.


Its 1989, and we are in the early days of theWestern Maryland Scenic railroad (WMSR). We watch the ex-Canadian Pacific G5 4-6-2 Pacific coming through the Cumberland Narrows. Then working up grade at Helmsteaders Curve. The final clip is off a overhead bridge while the Pacific is working hard uphill to Frostburg. At Frostburg, we watch the locomotive being turned on the turntable for its return trip to Cumberland. The CP G5 (1200-1271) Pacific where built by Montreal Locomotive works from 1944-1947. There where a total of 498 G class locomotives, and the G1 was first built in 1906.
