Last month, our good friends Old Crow Medicine Show stopped by the shop for a photo shoot with No. 576 and other spots at the Tennessee Central Railway Museum. They needed an industrial setting for their upcoming album and we gladly welcomed them in! This continues a long tradition of 576 serving as the backdrop for musicians, albums, commercials, and magazine spreads. Look out for their new album this summer!![]()
Come see the progress on Music City's locomotive for yourself on April 18th at the Nashville Steam - Tennessee Central Open House & Train Show! The shop will be open for you to have an up close look at the restoration of No. 576. We hope to see you there!
We have power! 🚂💡 THANK YOU to the Emery Rail Heritage Trust for selecting Nashville Steam as one of this year's grant award recipients! This grant will go towards components and the future installation of No. 576's new electrical system. The Emery Trust previously provided funding for the overhaul of the locomotive's air pump, running gear work, and refurbishment of the crossheads and guides. We want to thank them for their continued support of 576!
"This is an encore 70-plus years in the making. So we really want to give [No. 576] the recognition and applause it deserves."![]()
