There are a plethora of classic train songs in the country, bluegrass and folk music catalogs. Some high profile music artists like Dolly Parton, Keith Urban and Brad Pailey call Nashville home. If we can inspire some of them to do an all train song concert here in Music City to benefit this project, we could raise the funds for a quicker restoration. I was told today by one of the mechanical volunteers that the results of a preliminary ultrasound of the boiler showed excellent thickness, and when the cylinder valves were pulled, they were coated with viable lubrication. This engine was well preserved, and with a thorough overhaul and replacement of components as needed will steam again!
