576’s new dancing shoes are coming along quite nicely down in Chattanooga thanks to the hard work of FMW Solutions and the good folks at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. They should be back in place later this year! #SteamTheStripe
Let there be light! We had some fun with 576's fully repaired dynamo generator during Saturday's open house by letting it do what it does best, make electricity! Like the other locomotive applicances, the dynamo is steam-powered but for this demonstration we revved it up using shop air. Note the 576 whistle simulator making a cameo performance in the background. Just a sneak peak of the many sounds No. 576 will make in a few years! #TechTuesday
We’re here at the Spring Open House! In the shop we have many of 576’s fully repaired appliances on display. Come on out for a behind-the-scenes look at our progress! #SteamTheStripe
