TVRM Railfest Pictures

The Norfolk Southern Operation Lifesaver GP38-3 was one of the attendees of Railfest. This was really neat to see and maybe next year the OLS Dash 9-40CW will be here. Taken September 3, 2011 Copyright Signal Light Productions

Chattanooga & Chickamauga sent one of their GP38-2s to TVRM for the weekend. Notice how it doesn't have dynamic brakes. The C&C is a subsidiary of the Genesee and Wyoming.  Taken September 3, 2011 Copyright Signal Light Productions

Norfolk Southern also sent Southern 4610. To celebrate Southern's 100th anniversary, this EMD GP59 was painted Southern green and is the closest thing NS has to a heritage unit. This locomotive was originally a Hi-Hood meaning that the short hood seen here extended to the top of the cab roof. Taken September 3, 2011 Copyright Signal Light Productions

This is a view of the other side of 4610. It is really a shame what poor condition the gold paint is in. Hopefully when NS repaints this engine it will still be green, not black. Taken September 3, 2011 Copyright Signal Light Productions

Norfolk Southern was kind enough to send two of their executive F Units used on the Office Car Special (OCS). This train is for NS executives to get around and one of the cars it pulls can also be used for testing track geometry. Taken September 3, 2011. Copyright Signal Light Productions
