Spring Open House Set For March 29th
NSPS Spring Open House March 29, 2025 9am to 3pm Join us on Saturday, March 29th for the Nashville Steam Spring Open House! Be there for this up close…
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.
There is nothing as invigorating as the mighty Iron Horse.
THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE has inspired millions of people throughout history –
and Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway No. 576 is about to inspire thousands more.
NASHVILLE STEAM is undertaking the restoration and operation of a Nashville legend.
The adventure departs now. Will you climb aboard The Stripe?

We had an absolutely INCREDIBLE turnout for the Spring Open House yesterday! Thanks to all who took time to see the progress on Nashville’s locomotive. The highlight was showing our guests the brand new tubes and flues that will soon breathe new life into the boiler. We’re just getting started on another banner year for No. 576!
