If you look closely at 2:19, you can see USA #610 on the siding.

That's because this runby was done within a few minutes of the 4501 / 610 doubleheader runby shown in the "1996 Chickamauga Doubleheader" video.

Green is nice, but she looks pretty sharp in this black with white trim and yellow numbers. Hey lady! Train coming! Taking a chance just to mash a penny?

[FreeFallin1976]

Her whistle is just enough to melt my heart :-)

Man what it would have been like to run a steam engine

[MrJacMac1986]

the conductor used his voice because ther was no horn.I can imagine modern train horns would say that to idiots who try to beat the train if they could talk.

[MrJacMac1986]

Dumb old lady .surprised she lived as long as she did taking chances like that

I have read that work has slowly started on the 4501. Apparently some firebox work has begun and some staybolts have been removed. No word on when the 4501 will be completed, but look for the Southern 2-8-0 630 out of the TVRM Soule Shops relatively soon.

@run202run and then at the end she runs back out to claim her prize! just pitiful.

@run202run I know, it's ashame that all the excursion trains have gone to diesel. i sure wish there was a tourist railroad near me that ran steam.

@mdog917

People like her are one of the main reasons we don't see many mainline steam excursions anymore. These people are a public nuisance, and a security nightmare. As a result we all loose. Thanks random woman for crushing so many hopes and dreams. I hope your smashed penny sitting in a dusty box somewhere was worth it.
