Mid South Live Steamers Spring Meet

OK. So, there's this neat little place in Columbia, TN called, the Mid South Live Steamers. Twice or three times a year, all of the members bring their live steam trains to Maury County Park to run them for the public. And of course, I was there. So...

Watch it!

People ask me how many people can it pull? I tell them on flat ground maybe 100. And if it is down hill you might be in trouble.

The FP-45 weighs 1800 lbs, powered by a four cylinder diesel, all axles driven, air brakes, vacuum brakes, built in 1992. Paint layout is exact placement as ATSF paint shop. Water cooled, all roof fans operational. Has pulled 55 people up 3.2% grade in 22 cars. Also pulled 55 cars, dead large steamer, 39 people up 3.5%. Sound system is normal operating noise under load. Sounds like a SD-40. Smoke out exact exhaust outlet location. Modeled like last EMD, ATSF 108, just before Amtrak took over.
