Crews will arrive at 7am on Sunday, January 13th and the move out of the park will begin between 8am and 9am. Please note that because of the machinery involved and coordinating with the various utility companies the time is subject to change. The move will happen rain or shine.

Mammoet and Nashville Steam crews have been working hard this week to ensure No. 576 is loaded safely and efficiently. No. 576 rolled out of the shed with ease thanks to the Timken roller bearings and the dedication of the Nashville Shop employees who prepared the locomotive for long term display back in 1953. Their care and admiration for the locomotive is clearly evident today. Not long now ’til No. 576 is on the road to restoration!
