  • Located almost the top of the grade Missionary Ridge, just south of Chattanooga before the TVRM (Museum), Chattanooga-Atlanta run. Backed down for a photo runby 'up' the grade. Shhhhhh...... listen.

  • In railroading, it's called, "The Sound of Music".

  • Cut 55 seconds of pure mountain sound of three engines echoing in the mountains? Na, that's the point of 55 seconds first. Listen, enjoy the sound of steam.... 

  • Shhhhhhh, turn up the volume. Listen to three crying whistles echo in the Ga TN mountains, hear the exhaust hammering up grade, see 4501 on the lead with no light on. It's like 1950 with SRR and N&W working together. Enjoy

  • The paint scheme for the baggage is typical Central of Georgia Blue and Gray. It was created in the late 1940's. Enjoy and listen to the run up the hill

  • Did you tape this?

  • @southernrailway4501

    Yes, I used to work on the Southern and NS Georgia Division. I had the privilege to be assigned on many excursions as third generation. I took this video after I left but was on the trip. I also worked some Chatt-Atl excursions sponsored by TVRM. I grew up on steam from my father and grandfather going back to 1905 on Southern. I'm looking forward to seeing 4501 running again.

  • @blsmith4740 - Looking forward to seeing 4501 again myself. Love her whistle. Just hope they paint her back green.

  • I've never cared much for steam locomotives, UNTIL NOW. Impressive!

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • It would be an even better movie, if ya cropped the first 55 seconds off of it!

  • Where was this in chattanooga?? Brown Crew Change??

  • @rwk360 that would be possible but later on most likely... what i read was there tearing 610 down so maybe 10-15 years down the road?
