    When Steam is added to the game, these would be interesting add ons to Sand Patch grade. It would be a bit of a fantasy consist. They could fit both a historical and modern era on Sand Patch. The Western Maryland Scenic railroad is just completing the restoration on 1309 and Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation is restoring 2716. I know CSX doesn't run steam excursions on their lines, it would not be far beyond the realm of imagination to see both of these operating. You could bring 1309 off of the WM spur in Cumberland turn it on the turntable then pull a mainline excursion up and over sand patch. 2716 was actually painted up in a CSX livery for its move to the Ravenna, Kentucky shops. To be able to double-head them would also be pretty cool and was something that was alluded to in the real world! Both would be cool additions to the route and both organizations would probably appreciate the publicity. The KSHC is a very professional organization and has an excellent online presence.
