From the archives of Classic Trains, a trip from Nashville to Memphis becomes a learning experience in this spoken-word story by Doss Moore. This special presentation has been brought to you by Nashville Steam, a non-profit organization restoring Nashville’s very own steam locomotive, No. 576, a sister engine to the one featured in Doss Moore’s story. Through Nashville’s efforts, the magic of steam railroading will return to Music City and Middle Tennessee. You can support the restoration of 576 with a donation and watch our progress by subscribing on YouTube.

Just another example of how it truly is a Music City landmark! Oh, and if anyone is going to the show tonight, could you grab us a shirt? The engine wears a 76XL 😉 ... See MoreSee Less
