We are elated to announce that our summer matching fundraiser has surpassed our $100,000 goal! Over $240,000 has been raised to fund the restoration of Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis steam locomotive no. 576. Thanks to our donors, members, and friends across the country who contributed. Read on for details on what work these funds will cover this year and what this means for a test fire in 2023! Click here: www.nashvillesteam.org/2022/09/summer-fundraising-goal-surpassed/
Mark your calendars! Join us on Saturday, November 5th for the Nashville Steam-576 Fall Open House! Come on out to the steam shop for a behind-the-scenes look at the progress on No. 576. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and explain what it takes to bring a 1942 steam locomotive back to life. ![]()
