Southern Steam
The Southern Railway’s steam locomotives were greatly beloved. In this program you’ll enjoy great action featuring three Southern steam locomotives.
See two days of great photo charters at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum featuring 2-8-0 #630 and 2-8-2 #4501. You’ll enjoy several runbys on Museum trackage, as well as a doubleheaded trip on the mainline to Summerville, Georgia.
Then we go to the Monticello Railway Museum where 2-8-0 #401 put on a show between the museum and downtown Monticello, Illinois.
Features:
#630 cab ride
#630 and #4501 double heading between Grand Junction and East Chattanooga.
#630 and #$501 doublheading to Summervill, Georgia
#401 action runbys on the ex-IC line to Monticello.

It's great to see lots of Southern Railway steam locomotives preserved, especially the ones shown here in this program.
I've had the honor of seeing all three of them over the past 7 years.
Awesome video 🚂👍🚃
I hope I make it in time for the premiere
TVRM no longer has 5288. They sold it to a railroad in Pennsylvania.

Transferred ownership is more like it. They paid for shipping and that’s about it.
Guys, did you know that Southern Railway 2-8-2 #4501 hauled the Circus World Museum Train throughout Wisconsin in 1973? I learned that from the Pentrex program, "Early Amtrak Across Wisconsin" [Which I have on DVD].

Thank you ❤
oh man another fantastic documentary, what a treat

I’ve seen 4501 and 630, but I haven’t seen 401 in person. I doubt I ever will.
I have to admit I can see how the pneumatic bell ringer rod automatically rings the bell back-and-forth I actually like these better than the energize clapper on a bell it makes the bell look more cool
In regards to 41:00 to 41:30 I swear to god, Georgia drivers drive like they got their drivers license from a crackerjacks box.
I live in California.

610 wasn't a southern locomotive but she served the army then when she arrived at tvrm she got painted with Tennessee Valley on her tender!
I can't wait for Santa Fe 2926 to be on the mainline now that it's running again.
In 55:12, where is this Summerville located? The reason I ask is that there's a Summerville located here in South Carolina.😊😊😊😊
These are the only survived engines
Can you do the video on the Southern steam program
the whistle on 630 almost sounds like Texas State Railroad 500

@@texasrailfanproductions9970 We’ve had this whistle for a while. It’s just a Nathan 6 chime. We have used a few different ones on 630 (Central of Georgia, Boston & Maine and L&N), and they all sound basically the same.
