Finding 4 locomotives of one railroad like the Southern, that are still operating today is quite unique. We begin with the oldest engine, with 1890 2-8-0 number 154 in the Knoxville area. The first thing we see is a photo charter on a freight train which ran a bit further than the regular excursion ran. This charter ran in 2011. Then we see footage of regular excursions with their holiday trains, in November 2014, where they ran 3 trips in one day. This is the Three Rivers Rambler excursion train.<br><br>Next we visit the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum to see 2-8-0 number 630 operating on the regular TVRM local in 2011. Several runs were shown, including the Missionary Ridge Tunnel, and much more.<br><br>Then we are off to Monticello, Illinois where we see excursion train action which includes riding the train, a cab ride, and trackside views. The engine is 2-8-0 number 401. Next we get to see 401 on a special photo freight train charter, with many action-filled runbys along the rout |
