Tombstone Junction Railroad - Southern Railway PS-4 Whistle - RARE VIDEO

[Highpoint211]

Interesting , the only "Tombstone Junction" I've ever heard of was the one that became "Dollywood" in Pigeon Forge , Tennessee even though I've been through Stearns KY many times I've never heard of a "Tombstone Junction" amusement park there .

@Highpoint211 Tombstone Junction was actually located on U.S. 90 just yards up the road from where you enter Cumberland Falls State Park. The locomotive under restoration at the Big South Fork Scenic Railroad to steam at Stearns is the engine shown in this video. If you ask any of the operating staff at BSFSRY they can tell you about the park.

@boilerwash1 Actually I made a mistake the park that became "Dollywood" was "GOLDRUSH Junction" not "TOMBSTONE Junction" . Still I don't remember this place . I'll have to look at Bing or Google Maps aerial view to see if I can see any remains of the old "Tombstone Junction" park .

This is the departure of the same trip that the earlier clip shows the engine pulling the grade. My fireman was Donnie Vanover. The whistle is off of a Southern PS4 passenger locomotive.

@whjco Hi Bill. Didn't know you had a subscription on here too. Thanks for the info updated, I've changed the video info accordingly. I can't quite remember where I was told 77 had an L&N whistle on it. Guess they were wrong.
