TVRM in Chattanooga TN has a preserved MS Mikado called Southern 4501. They use the steamer for excursion trips across Tennessee. History is preserved at TVRM in Chattanooga TN. Several freight locomotives say hello to steamers by blowing their horn and the steamers blow their whistle back to say hello back. Sheesh those seats look comfy. Plus the nolstagia of riding behind a steam or older diesel locomotive across the plains of Tennessee.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Seeing locomotives blow their horns or whistles at each other makes them seem alive and reminds me of Thomas and Friends

Awesome video! I went to train camp there and got four total cab rides there and back! That truly is one of the best places to go for steam. The '01 is my favorite steen loco at TVRM but 630 is a close second

I found Southerns old railroad spike from 1950

great video ems! U were so lucky to ride in 4501s cab! I don't know why but I laughed so hard when the conductor said this. 24:45 Conductor- so where are you boys from. EMS- Marietta Georgia. Conductor- yeah, I'm from Marietta Georgia. EMS-ohh really! Conductor-No im really not. EMS-Aww.

4501 is my favorite train but I like it in green

So far I've never been on a steam train, but I imagine it must be very good. Great video!

This looks like a fun train ride

We are going there today!

Hats off in appreation to you guys for making a great video . it was almost as good as being there! question; where do these railroaders get the training o know how to Eingener an old steam engine??

Nice video. I am planning on coming here sometime this year or most likely in June. How do you get a cab ride? What are the names of some good streets to follow in order to chase the train? Is it easy to beat the train from Chattanooga to E Chattanooga driving the speed limits and with all traffic lights?

How long is the turntable at East Chattanooga

How did you get to go to the back of the train to the exterior deck?

engineer6325 You have to pay extra to ride in the cab along with your regular train tickets.

Yes. You buy the regular tickets and then you have to tell them that you want the cab ride. But you can only do it one way, so choose wisely!

What kind of whistle did 4501 have?

Princeton 3 Chime, essentially a Southern Railway 3 chime step top

Are you allowed to go on the back of the train on the way there without paying?

Jayce Cox There is no extra cost to ride there; however, with a steam engine pulling, it gets really hot in the Missionary Ridge tunnel.

39 seconds of garbage sound and I'm outa here.......
