Reply to this comment with your suggestions for future episodes of this series, and the most liked reply after 7 days will be made into the next episode! EDIT: Now that 7 days have passed, it appears that A Look Back at Reading Excursion Engines will be the next episode in the series, as Grand Drunk Western's suggestion has the most likes!
I have always been enthralled by 4501 and 630. Those two engines were an influential part of my childhood, and one that would make me into the railroader I am today. I remember seeing 4501 on TVRM trackage after NS discontinued the original steam program. I remember seeing 630’s first runs in 2011, and 4501’s eventual return to steam in 2014. I even modified some Bachmann steam locomotives to resemble 4501, 630, and eventually 722. Indeed, the Southern’s big three were a valuable part of my youth, and continue to be important to me to this day.
Fun fact, the trucks on 401's tender are originally from a coal car. The coal car is currently on the tender's old trucks and can still be seen around the musuem.
The only thing I noticed was that you didn't mention that the 4501 was repainted black in 1996 for the 35th Anniversary of TVRM. She then wore this paint scheme until 1998, when her last run was. I think they mentioned it in the documentary "And Then There Was One." I thought it was a great video though! I never even knew the 385 ran in preservation if that tells you anything lol. As far as suggestions go, it would be cool to see something over the few Western Pacific and Northern Pacific excursion engines there have been. There haven't been that many of each, it may be where you can do them all in one video.
As one of the foamers who dislikes the freight paint I can say there are more than several of us dismayed railfans.... There are at least a dozen of us who prefer green!
I think Southern 630 looks gorgeous in either Green or Black but the fact she is around running today is something very special to me and I also got to ride behind her one on a mainline excursion.
Since 4501 was originally a freight engine, it doesn't look wrong to me to see her painted in her original colors. Green/gold is nice, too, but as long as she's preserved and running, I'm okay with either paint scheme. . .
Okay here comes the essay. 4501 was retired in 1998 after being painted black for TVRM excursions. You missed a few engines, US Army 610 which pulled NS excursions in 1991? I believe and MN&F 12 which is currently operating at the Age of Steam Roundhouse. The 12 was originally Southern but was sold to MN&F. 401 is not actually currently operating and was taken out of service for it’s 1472 last year. And lastly 722 isn’t sitting in pieces not it is currently in a lengthy restoration by GSMR but is on hold because of the fire on Durango & Silverton which is owned by GSMR. A&WP 290 should also get a mention as it ran on Southern under the New Georgia Railroad. And now that I think of it Mississippian 77 a 2-8-0 also ran Southern excursions in the 70s. Southern 6910, originally Kentucky & Tennessee 10 ran 2 excursions on the Southern in Southern lettering with 2 more excursions planned the next day. Boiler leaks caused those 2 trips to be canceled. Hope this helps. - Matthew
4501 was also used in the miniseries Eleanor & Franklin. It was picked to be the engine leading President Roosevelt's funeral train. 1401, in the Smithsonian, was one of the engines that actually pulled the real funeral train.
Wow! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this episode! I’m a huge sucker for the southern and I’ll admit I smiled the whole way through! Great job on the video. I’ll add that I think 154 and 401 are both currently down for a rebuild. Also, I think GSMR is starting to put a little bit of work into 722 now but that’s just something I’ve seen from the comment section of another CZcams video so I don’t know the validity of that claim. Either way, great job again!
hate to burst your bubble but it's not gonna happened, if they do, she's gonna be a show piece again... she'd have to be sent back to the TVRM for a full rebuild to working order, and her tender hah! her tender is so far gone minus the trucks and maybe parts of the frame are barely able to be saved if that. the GSMR's former owners really screwed them over, what with them sucking money of what they needed and putting it into the D&S yes they really did that.
Great Video. Also I know you're a steam fan but can you please do a lookback evolution video on some of the diesel engines from the Southern Railway like the 4 surviving E8a's and 5 surviving FP7'A'S. And with this, I mean locomotives like 6900, 6901, 6138, 6141, 6143, 6147 and of course the famous Southern 6133. You can also include some tuxedo units as well if you like such as 2594, and 3170.
According to my Copy of "Locomotive 4501" by David F. Morgan, #4501 had the cleanest record of any Southern Railway locomotive, not even a railroad crossing accident!

After being bought from the ET&WNC and renumbered back from 207and 208, SRR 630 and 722 went into the SRR steam shop in Irondale, Alabama, not the TVRM shops. My folks were from Elizabethton TN and saw those two 2-8-0s running almost every day. 630 was my very first cab ride, at TVRM in 1981 when I was a kid.
During the AFT tour when tbe SP 4449 handed its train off to reading 610 in Alexandria Va the Southern leased SP 4449 for its excursion program and even ran it all the way to Birmingham

And I believe all of the operated on the us sugar railroad before their retirement in the 50s
There's good news for 722 as the Gsmr has announced the restoration on 722 has commenced again, expected to be finished in 2026 with a conversion to an oil burner
Have you ever thought of doing a look back at narrow gauge excursion engines, you should do one and you should add Huckleberry Railroad #464 and #152, information on them is on the website of the Huckleberry Railroad
I got to ride on one of the last trains ever pulled by Southern Railway 630 back in 2014 which was a Lexington, Kentucky to Oneida, Tennessee excursion. It was a fun trip with the consist being SOU 630 and two GP38-2s serving as backup power. We had to stop on the way to Oneida, Tennessee due to an emergency involving one of the passengers holding us up for 1 hour to 1 & 1/2 hours before we could get moving again due to both the CNO&TP Mainline being SUPER busy and the EM Services taking care of said passenger. It was sad that not long after this excursion NS shelfed the program entirely with this being one of 630's last mainline excursions on NS. Just thought I'd share my story on Southern 630
So good news about the 722. The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad has officially announced that they're rebuilding it back to operation, with the finish date estimated to be 2026. It'll be kept in green paint, converted to burning oil, and will be the largest locomotive on GSMR's roster.
722's story isn't over, employees at the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad are doing what they can to keep the locomotive from deteriorating further as well as reassemble here as beat they can.
I have the old Atlanta Constitutiin newspaper article from the 1964 steam excursion out of Atlanta Terminal Station. Article has some interesting photographs.
The only two locomotives you missed is Southern Ps-4 No.1401 and 154 sister engine No.107. You didn't mention the locomotive classes. 4501 is a Ms class 2-8-2 630 and 722 are Ks class 2-8-0 385 and 401 are H-4 class 2-8-0 154 is a G class 2-8-0 630 is upgraded and reclassified to a Ks class in 1917 4501 was painted black in 1996 and was placed in storage in 1998 when it boiler ticket expired
I’ve noticed that most of the Southern Railway steam locomotives that operated in excursion service are 2-8-0 consolidation type locomotives. (I know, that’s too obvious!)
Yeah, you're right. I just wanted to cover their overall excursion careers though, and not get too much into detail about specific excursions since there were so many major events and trips over the years.

Southern 4501 is the Luckiest Locomotive Because She Participated in the Steam Program and Starred in the Movie October Sky as N&W 4501 and Doubleheaded With 630.And I Wish She Kept Her Virginian Green and Gold Paint Scheme.
What about Texas & Pacific 2-10-4 No. 610, Canadian Pacific 4-6-0 No. 2839, and C&O 2-8-4 No. 2716? The Southern Railway used this engines for their excursions as well. Or did you wanna focus on engines that worked primarily for the Southern Railway?
Precisely. I only wanted to focus on engines that were built for the Southern/ran on it in revenue service. If I ever do a video on C&O excursion engines or T&P excursion engines, I'll cover 2716 and 610, and I've already covered CP 2839 in a previous video in this series.
I like these videos; the only thing I would say is that the background music is superfluous, and, while not loud, is somewhat distracting. Steam locomotives are interesting enough; no embellishment is really needed. . .
The reason why the 21st century steam excursions shut down? Its becuz of Hurricane Joaquin. -Norfolk Southern 6100 a diesel engine who likes meteorology and likes pulling freight.
@@Buynot Hey I am a subscriber now. Your channel is great. I will be starting a channel soon so keep an eye out for it. It will be called Tennessee Valley Railfan Productions.
Yep, I don't count 2716 since it was originally built for/ran on the C&O, and didn't start operating as a Southern locomotive until the preservation era.
604 wasn't originally a Southern Railway engine though. It was first slated to operate for the National Railway of Mexico, but was then sold to the Buffalo Creek and Gauley. It was only lettered as a Southern engine for a few years in the late 70's when it became part of the NC Transportation Museum.
That would be 385's running mate, 0-6-0 #4039. It's a former US Army switcher and can also be found on display at the Whipanny Railway Museum as of today.

Whoops! That's what I get for only having a loose set of notes instead of a script. Thanks for the correction!

Well then it seems I missed quite a bit. I had completely forgot that MH&NF 12 used to be a Southern engine! Thanks for the info!
I was going to mention 12 because ive been in the cab and it is very nice
I mean it looks like they had done nothing for 2 decades after dismantling 722

This is a very good series
4501 was also used in the miniseries Eleanor & Franklin. It was picked to be the engine leading President Roosevelt's funeral train. 1401, in the Smithsonian, was one of the engines that actually pulled the real funeral train.

@Ethan Schmid which just means it's still rusting away.
GSMR is now restoring the 722 for excursion service. She will still be painted Southern green and gold.
