  • This engine was absolutely gorgeous as a Southern locomotive. I actually hated to see it returned to a C&O.

  • Awesome! I rode that exact train when I was a kid. My dad was a paramedic and volunteered to ride it (to wash the the cinders out of people's eyes). I got to ride for free. It was a lot of fun to ride to Charlottesville and back.  It's kind of weird to see it on video now.

  • @PereMarquette1223 send her to tvrm or oc

  • The whistle used on the 2716 back then will be used on the ATSF 2-6-2 I will restore in the future.

  • @e44e33 I hear that since she was put back to static display that she's in real bad shape, and that it would cost like a million bucks to restore it if anyone had the money.

  • 2 tenders wow

  • @Kleman09 it's not like it was a permanent change. It was operated in 1996 as a C&O locomotive. The kids that rode behind her in 1981-82 could care less whether the headlight was on the pilot or in the smokebox center with an eagle above it, but they can say that they rode behind a steam locomotive on the mainline. Living history preserved, even if slightly different in appearance.

  • Sp4449warbaby the birkshires L&N had where called M-1's and Big Emma's they NEVER called them Birkshires

  • This is cool. I would perfer her to be in her C&O scheme. In order to preserve acurate History, you must have the correct railroad that owned the locomotive represented.

  • Looks like the 7/16/82 was the last 2716 trip. Then NKP 765 pinch hit for 611 for a few weeks.

  • Wow, the AUX is an Louisville & Nashville Berkshire tender trailing behind the 2716! I miss those tenders, even 765's AUX is a refurbished Louisville & Nashville Berkshire tender
