This is a two part question which I hope will be a long discussion about 1309 and the Western Maryland Scenic. Plus civil, which You don't get on other forums.
1. Any updates of Late on 1309? I have not heard anything in like six months.
2. Will the Western Maryland survive? I ask this because last I heard they are broke. No money to fix the physical plant which has been reported to be in bad shape. Also the Western Maryland keeps asking for handouts from the county and state.
So I hope they survive, somehow.

They have a great deal of issues, the physical plant is in bad shape, tracks are in bad shape, ties are rotten, they need to redo the approach to the turn table in Frostburg. A true example of mis-management.

I gave money a few years ago, via their website.
Found out later that the website donation feature has been out of order for a few years. I mean that’s really pathetic, it’s low hanging fruit, totally lame. And you would of thought they would have come back to me for more money, but not a peep.
You don’t even read about this effort in the local newspapers.
If 1309 runs again, it will be by divine providence.
Hope it does, but this 1309 effort has been 180 degrees different from the 611 effort, which was run brilliantly.

We had tickets for last years run. Had request a refund when the date had past. Not sure what is going on, but I hope they get it together.

She has wheels under her as of yesterday. Hopefully she'll move under her own power this year.

Sadly no, Trains Mag was broadcasting live on FB but I haven't seen much mentioned anywhere else.
