here is one from my last night adventure.

Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum Railfest 2014

Here comes my photos from Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's Railfest 2014. First ones up: ME! Note: I'm not the best at smiling.

Me in front of Southern 2-8-0 #630:

Me in front of SOUTHERN 2-8-2 #4501!

And me in front of 630 with 4501 in the background:

More coming!

 

[jordon412]

Southern 4501 in the front with 630 in the rear:

Side-by-side view of 4501 and 630:

A shot of 630:

[jordon412]

Two pictures of FP7A Southern #6133. Thanks to the North Carolina Transportation Museum for sending this locomotive. 6133 brought back some memories for my Dad, when he would see locomotives like 6133 pass thru the town he grew up in.

Conductor's side of #6133:

Engineer's side of #6133:

More coming!

 

[jordon412]

Now 'Little 4501'. Thanks to Jessi Krebs of the Chippewa Northwestern Railway Society of Goehner, Nebraska for his 100% accurate, 1/12th scale (1 inch = 1 foot) 4-3/4 inch gauge, steam-powered model of 4501. I don't know if that's Jessi in the second photo or not.

More on their way!

 

[jordon412]

Now the Reason why I went: THE RETURN OF 4501!

Engineer's side of the tender. This was the first picture I took of her since her restoration. Note the size difference between Little 4501 beside the 'actual' 4501:

[/URL][/IMG]

The face of 4501 (Fireman's side):

The face of 4501 (Engineer's side):

[/URL][/IMG]

Engineer's side of 4501:

[/URL][/IMG]

The face of 4501 (Engineer's side #2). Note Little 4501 on the path and you can see how 4501 dwarfs the model of her.

[/URL][/IMG]

4501 and 6133 sitting side-by-side:

[/URL][/IMG]

4501's Walschaerts valve gear. I always found the valve gear particularly interesting. However, I like 630's more.

[/URL][/IMG]

The fireman's side of 4501. Note the specifications of 4501 that is normally in the 'front-bottom corner' of the cab is missing on this side of 4501, but is present on the engineer's side of 4501. I don't think they had time to add that little bit of info before she had to be steamed up for Railfest:

[jordon412]

Southern 630 bringing in the Missionary Ridge Local for the start of the day. Not often do you find two steam locomotives up and running at the same time.

[/URL][/IMG]

That should be it for now. Enjoy these pics.

 

[pdkoester]

nice pics Jordan.

 

[jordon412]

I was thinking about this earlier, but my dad checked and found out that all five Summerville Steam Specials, which run from Chattanooga to the small town of Summerville, Georgia, are all sold out, except for six tickets. As the name states, it's steam-powered, so it's unknown if 4501 or 630 will be pulling them.

Today's NS 145 roars through CP Hazel Dell as it traverses the Hannibal District.

 

[pdkoester]

Nice photo Blake. Looks like when NS paints the freight car logos, they don't pay much to alignment. I like this angle.

Railfest 2014: And now, a Simulated Ride behind Southern 4501

Please note that the train was going at good speed, so the train was rocking from side to side, which is why the pictures are at an angle.

Southern 4501 waits for departure behind Grand Junction

Southern 4501 blows her whistle signaling it's time to leave

[/URL][/IMG]

Southern 4501 approaches the big bridge over Chickamauga Creek

[/URL][/IMG]

We past the observation car used on excursions

[/URL][/IMG]

One of four Rail Diesel Cars (RDC) owned by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. The observation car is on the other end of this group of cars

[/URL][/IMG]

Several Norfolk Southern coaches. Note the passenger car with the vent popping out the top of the roof. It's the exhaust for the on-board Head-End-Power generator

[/URL][/IMG]

Former RDC turned Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority cab-coach now calls Tennessee home

[/URL][/IMG]

On the other side of the train sits the passenger cars shown above

4501 takes the train into Hunzinker Curve

Our train continues around Hunzinker Curve

Our Trip Behind 4501 Continues

Missionary Ridge Tunnel comes into view

We've just exited Missionary Ridge Tunnel and go around a left-hand curve

Southern 630's Little Helper: Auxiliary Water Tank WT51

[/URL][/IMG]

Another view of WT51. Note the blue paint on the boxcar. It's covering some graffiti spray painted on the boxcar. Stupid kids . . .

[/URL][/IMG]

Southern 4501 slows to a crawl as she enters the sharp curve at East Chattanooga

[/URL][/IMG]

The canopy of East Chattanooga appears over the top of the old, rusty boxcar

Later: 4501 at East Chattanooga

Well, while everyone else was at the TVRM, I was at the New Hope Valley Railway checking on the progress on Cliffside Railroad 2-6-2 #110. They've separated the boiler from the chassis to prepare for the long work ahead.
