September 12, 2015 – Southern Railway 4501 at Citico Junction

September 12, 2015 – The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum’s Southern Railway 4501 heads into the wye at Citico Junction on the Norfolk Southern Mainline at Chattanooga, Tennessee after returning with a loaded passenger train from Cleveland, Tennessee during the Museum’s 2015 Railfest. The train was turned in the they wye and then headed back to the TVRM station.
4501 was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1911 for the Southern Railway, the 4501 was the first of its class on that railroad. The wheel arrangement is a 2-8-2, known as a Mikado since the first of this type were sold to Japan. 4501 served the Southern until the 1940s when the railroad began buying diesel locomotives and phasing out steam operations. It then then saw service on a small coal-hauling railroad in Kentucky. Since the mid-1960s, 4501 has pulled countless passenger excursion trains across the Southern (later Norfolk Southern) Railway. The 4501 ended its service in 1999 due to rising maintenance costs. However, with the start of Norfolk Southern’s “21st Century Steam” program, the 4501 returned to service this year.

August 28, 2015 – Norfolk Southern’s Heritage unit 1069, The Virginian, at Big Clifty, Ky

August 28, 2015 – I owe Adam Wells and Bill Grady a big shout out for the heads up with today’s picture of Norfolk Southern’s Heritage unit 1069, The Virginian as it heads north across the trestle at Big Clifty, Ky. I almost didn’t give case because as many of you know I broke my left elbow, Monday and had surgery to repair it on Wednesday! I must say it’s amazing how much i find that I use my left, almost as much as my right. I did have to adapt my shooting style as my D800 with the battery grip is Heavy! However I persevered and good several nice shots between Central City and Big Clifty, Ky which I’ll post over the next few days. – Tech Info: 1/1250sec, f/13, ISO 800, Lens: Sigma 24-70 @ 24mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW.
