Southern

The Southern No. 2601 diesel locomotive, purchased by Southern Railway in 1963, was one of 120 such locomotives the company ordered over two years, workhorses that pulled fast freight trains. Check out the history in our latest #NCLearn video, then see the No. 2601 pulling the museum's on site train ride this weekend at the museum that moves you.

I have a question does it still have its 567 assemblies and turbo or it has been rebuilt with 645 assemblies with 645 turbo

[@BenBensonStudios]

I have a couple questions. Will you be hosting Day Out With Thomas events in 2021? And will you restore one of your steam locomotives to operation?
