THANK YOU to the Joyce Family Foundation for their recent contribution of $15,000 towards the restoration of the locomotive cab!! The Joyce Family previously donated to the relocation effort and we are so thankful and appreciative of their continued support of the restoration of NC&StL No. 576. We are also honored to have Mr. Alex Joyce serve on our Board of Directors.
And because of the 2020 Matching Grant, that gift has been doubled to $30,000!! We have more exciting news on the way so stay tuned! #TechTuesday #StripeHype
After being cooped up in the steam shop for months, we thought we’d let No. 576 stretch her legs and enjoy this absolutely beautiful weather! While out in the open, Nashville Steam crew members started media blasting the interior of the boiler. Once everything is cleaned up, heavy repair work to the boiler’s interior will begin. #StripeHype
Repair work continues on the combustion chamber thermic syphon. After removing the damaged portion and forming the replacement pieces, the new section is tack welded in place for test fitting. No. 576 is equipped with three thermic syphons that help with water circulation in the boiler. #TechTuesday #StripeHype
