CHATTANOOGA, TN - FMW Solutions has expanded its Tennessee operations through the lease of a portion of the Lucey Boiler Company, increasing its railroad restoration shop capabilities in the region. Lucey Boiler will host the complete overhaul of historic Atlantic Coast Line steam locomotive No. 1504, which was relocated to the region from Jacksonville, Florida in an effort assisted by the City of Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley Railway Museum.
“We’re genuinely thrilled to be growing our company’s craft in Chattanooga,” said Shane Meador, VP - Mechanical of FMW Solutions. “In addition to our machine and fabrication shop in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, our firm is capable of taking on mechanical and restoration projects of any scope, including complete steam and diesel locomotive overhaul, at remote locations across the U.S.”
The 52,000-sq foot Lucey Boiler Company facility is slated for redevelopment into Lucey Quarter by Southern Spear Properties. This investment in the Highland Park Neighborhood aims to transform the century-old industrial complex into a mixed-use community gathering place adjacent to the East Line pathway and the former Belt Railway of Chattanooga.
