You are mostly correct. However, the 2613 was assisted to Nashville from Gallatin by two E unit diesels and the steam engine's fire was rebuilt at Radnor round house. The return run to Louisville was entirely powered by the IC 2613.
when the l&n had their cenntenial excursion special in 1959 , they didn't have any more operating steamers left , so they leased illinois central's 4-8-2 mountain # 2613, the l&n ran out of coal at gallatin tn & had to have a coal dealer truck in a load of coal to make it the rest of the way to nashville

@TheSterlingLoopTroop :
Yes. this DVD is narrated by Danny Harmon. Volume one was narrated by Ralph E. Morse. Neither of them is a "dude". Both are gentlemen.

I get maybe 5-10 seconds of tape before a rewind wheel lasting maybe 20 seconds. This is no way to do a preview.

@drrgperrin Works OK for me. Not sure what you are talking about. The DVD has much better motion than this You Tube clip.

@hrvideo Thats a shame, wish they could have saved at least 1 of them. Well, at least there on DVD to be seen.

@nkproad777 KRM has a tender in New Haven. I think there's another somewhere else. But that's it.
