Let's make this a tender-ific #TechTuesday, shall we? Not a lot has been done to the tender since we relocated No. 576 in 2019, but when the shop was damaged in March that limited what we could do on the engine. So instead the steam team media blasted the interior of the water tank and started repairs and improvements to the baffles. Once that is complete the interior will be painted. #SteamTheStripe
THANK YOU!! Because of your help and support we had our most successful Big Payback to date raising more than $15,000 in just 24 hours! And because of the generous matching opportunity, that's nearly $30,000 going towards No. 576! That amount will cover the lifting costs and wheel removal with the remainder going directly to the general restoration fund. Check back for more updates as we continue down the Road to Revival! #SteamTheStripe
Presenting the "crown" only fit for a Duchess! Capped stacks, also known as "bell stacks," were one of the defining features for all steam locomotives on the NC&StL Railway. No. 576's stack cracked as early as the 1970s and by the time Nashville Steam relocated the locomotive in 2019 it was in two pieces. Now it's good as new and ready for service! ![]()
