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.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and brother, Jeff Brisendine. From the very beginning, Jeff was one of Nashville Steam's biggest supporters and quickly became instrumental in the effort to relocate and restore No. 576. Serving as our first Volunteer Coordinator, Jeff recruited many volunteers while the locomotive was still in the park by placing a hammer in an inquisitive onlooker's hand and saying "alright, well get to work!" He announced his presence with his boisterous laughter and entertained us with his numerous stories or the occasional tall tale. In typical fashion of an old school tradesman, he was a man of few words when it came to a job well done but he never missed an opportunity to teach or mentor. We extend our deepest condolences to Jeff's friends and family, especially his wife Dana who serves on the NSPS Board of Directors. Jeff didn't want a funeral, in fact he would probably just want us to stop all this fuss and get back to work. We'll do just that and finish the job that he started. Donations in Jeff's honor can be made at: www.nashvillesteam.org/donate ... See MoreSee Less
