Wow! We had an absolutely incredible turnout for the Fall Open House & Trains Show yesterday! Thank you to all who made this our biggest event yet. So many people arrived with memories, photos, stories, and even a handmade 576 to share what Nashville's locomotive means to them. We raised more than $1,000 with the whistle blow raffle and all of our winners put on a great show! Sign up to be on our email list at 👉 bit.ly/4cAjsws to learn more about future events and restoration progress.A special thanks to our friends at ScaleTrains, Nashville Riverboats, the Watertown Railroad Museum, the Dead Tree Desperados, and R. J. Corman Railroad Group for spending the day with us! ...
