Freshly painted and with a compete rebuilding from the frame up, Southern 630 did some break-in runs Saturday March 19th 2011. She looks and runs perfectly! She will began pulling the local pasenger train in Chattanooga April 2nd at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
Jerry, she's beautiful!!!! I found these videos of her break in run yesterday. Hope you were in the cab, if not in the right seat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGhz56hFJ9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_wwwg2uTLs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojwxyu5u-Xc
Hank, my MAC won't open those links, but that engine looks super, brand new. I think I saw her, but it might have been 610, in my only visit to the TVRM back in 1993. She will be a real stunner out on the line. Great work to all the volunteers and staff at TVRM. :tb-biggrin:
Jim, try going to YouTube and search for Southern 630. There will be lots of returns, but only the ones posted since this past Saturday are of her post-overhaul trial runs.
