Hello Rail Fans,

Here are some pictures from our October 2016 4501 train chase. 4501 trip from TVRM in Chattanooga to Summerville, Georgia.

We started at TVRM in Chattanooga as the passengers loaded the train cars.

She was a beauty as there is just something special about a steam train.

We found ourselves on Holtzclaw avenue where 4501 will follow the street for a little while then cross over the street, always a great sight.

Notice the actual sign.

 

We found this sweet spot behind some old buildings which added to the setting.

4501 had to wait here while two freight trains came in and out of  Debutt's yard. By the way a two trains where NS and BNSF.

A piggy back container train.

Then a NS mile long freight train.
