released the other day....

 

  • March 29 ~ Chattanooga, TN to Attalla, AL
  • March 30 ~ Chattanooga, TN to Oneida,TN
  • April 5 ~ Bristol, VA to Radford, VA
  • April 6  ~ Bristol, VA to Bulls Gap, TN
  • April 12 & 13 ~ Grundy,VA to Devon,WV (2x per day)
  • April 19 ~ Chattanooga, TN to Cleveland, TN (2x per day)
  • May 17 & 18 ~ Ludlow,KY (Cincinnati area) to Danville,KY
  • May 31 & June 1 ~ Lexington,KY to Oneida,TN
  • June 7 ~ Chattanooga, TN to Stearns, KY

Expect power to be Southern 630 with diesel assistance to begin with.  Southern 4501 should take over at some point--at the moment, I'd lay money on the Stearns trip in June being the debut.  That's the 50th Anniversary trip of the steam on the Southern, and the initial move of the 4501 from Stearns to Chattanooga in 1964.

 

Tickets for the Chattanooga trips on sale at, http://tvrail.com/pages/21st-Century-Steam.  Expect the Bristol trips to go on sale soon.

 

Should be fun!

611 is still in Roanoke and hasn't moved yet.  If they really can do a 9-month restoration, it's not impossible to see it in the fall, but it's approaching miracle stage.  Best bet is 2015 at this point.

 

re: Chicago, this is just the TVRM schedule.

Same engine NS has used for several years now for all the southern trips.  Southern Class Ks-1 2-8-0 owned by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.  I'd expect the early spring tour to be the last extended mainline action you'll see out of her now that the 4501 is coming onboard.
