It's Giving Tuesday! DOUBLE your impact for 576's superheater units at: www.nashvillesteam.org/donate/Our mechanical volunteers have been hard at work in the shop to close out 2024 on a strong note. More items are going back ON the locomotive everyday and we were able to media blast the tender and paint a fresh base coat before the temperatures dropped. Help us keep the momentum going by making a contribution to our Giving Tuesday campaign!
This year we give thanks and gather together around the table... the TURNtable!! We are so excited for our friends at the City of Watertown who were recently awarded a $1.6 million dollar grant for the development of a rail yard and reinstallation of the historic NC&StL turntable, formerly located in Atlanta. We look forward to the many "spins" No. 576 will be doing in the years to come! Click the link to read the article from Andy Humbles and the Tennessean: bit.ly/turntable576
