55 Minutes
This
outstanding program is hosted by Jim Boyd, Editor of Railfan &
Railroad Magazine. It opens with a visit to the Tennessee Valley
Railroad Museum, featuring recently-rebuilt ex-Army 2-8-0 610 pulling a
chartered photo freight. Multiple photo runbys were performed at many
scenic locations along the line. Regular passenger operations are also
covered.
Next,
handsome Atlanta & West Point heavy 4-6-2 290 - in authentic
passenger livery - powers a chartered passenger excursion. Three runbys
at the scenic South Peachtree Creek Bridge are included.
Jim
then follows two steam ferry runs, with classic Southern Railway 2-8-2
4501 hauling freight and powerful Norfolk & Western Class J 4-8-4
611 heading a passenger train.
As
a special bonus, you'll see beautifully-restored Eastern Tennessee
& Western North Caroline narrow-gauge 4-6-0 12 pull Tweetsie
Railroad excursion trains. The stack talk is hot and heavy as the
spotless green-and-gold locomotive works hard to surmount a 5% grade on
the way to an imposing wooden trestle bridge.
