1218 was retired in 1959 and sat next to Union Carbide in Charleston, West Virginia until 1964. Towed to a variety of museums for static display, she remained silent for 21 years. In 1985 Robert B. Claytor, then Chairman of Norfolk Southern helped bring her back to life. The loco underwent a two year overhaul, and in the Spring of 1987, railroad man Robert Claytor was at the throttle as the 1218 began her new life in excursion service for the Steam Division of the Norfolk Southern. 55 Minutes
NO. 4501-THREE DECADES OF EXCURSIONS
Number 4501 was the first of 177 Mikados on the Southern Railway when she arrived from Baldwin in 1911. She is now the sole survivor in her class. After working for the SR, the rugged 2-8-2 put more years on the Kentucky & Tennessee Railroad--until she was purchased in early 1964 by Chattanooga’s fledgling Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
When the Southern Railway’s legendary steam excursion program notched out its throttle two years later, bright green No. 4501 headed up some of its first trains. Early SR steam trains were the ultimate in simplicity--with No. 4501 pulling a dozen open window coaches. No. 4501 has outlasted most of the other locomotives used in the Southern’s, and later, Norfolk Southern’s 28 year steam excursion program.
While her peers are now cold and back in museums. No. 4501 continues to proudly highball out of Chattanooga. Join us for vintage action of No. 4501 pulling excursion trains through the heart of the south, as well as from Pittsburgh to Washington to Richmond over two decades ago!
We’ll also follow a 1973 excursion of 4501 out of Chicago on the Rock island to southern Illinois. Our video then fast forwards to the present.
No. 4501 is back on the track again, thundering over the former Central of Georgia main line. 88 Minutes
