It's great to see lots of Southern Railway steam locomotives preserved, especially the ones shown here in this program.

[@matthewpowell2429]

I've had the honor of seeing all three of them over the past 7 years.

I hope I make it in time for the premiere

Awesome video 🚂👍🚃

TVRM no longer has 5288. They sold it to a railroad in Pennsylvania.

[@TravisDGordon]

Transferred ownership is more like it. They paid for shipping and that’s about it.

Thank you ❤

Guys, did you know that Southern Railway 2-8-2 #4501 hauled the Circus World Museum Train throughout Wisconsin in 1973? I learned that from the Pentrex program, "Early Amtrak Across Wisconsin" [Which I have on DVD].

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Yes. Along with Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 4960 (A.K.A Grand Canyon Railway 4960), Grand Trunk Western 5629, and Chicago & Northwestern 1385.

oh man another fantastic documentary, what a treat

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

I’ve seen 4501 and 630, but I haven’t seen 401 in person. I doubt I ever will.

I have to admit I can see how the pneumatic bell ringer rod automatically rings the bell back-and-forth I actually like these better than the energize clapper on a bell it makes the bell look more cool

610 wasn't a southern locomotive but she served the army then when she arrived at tvrm she got painted with Tennessee Valley on her tender!

In regards to 41:00 to 41:30 I swear to god, Georgia drivers drive like they got their drivers license from a crackerjacks box.

In 55:12, where is this Summerville located? The reason I ask is that there's a Summerville located here in South Carolina.😊😊😊😊

I can't wait for Santa Fe 2926 to be on the mainline now that it's running again.

the whistle on 630 almost sounds like Texas State Railroad 500

[@TravisDGordon]

The whistle here was a Boston & Maine 6 chime.

[@texasrailfanproductions9970]

@@TravisDGordon did Texas State Railroad 500 have the same whistle?

[@TravisDGordon]

@@texasrailfanproductions9970 We’ve had this whistle for a while. It’s just a Nathan 6 chime. We have used a few different ones on 630 (Central of Georgia, Boston & Maine and L&N), and they all sound basically the same.
