Steam Rides NS Rails Again

On June 28th SOU(TVRM) #630 traveled on the NS mainline from Chattanooga, TN to Cleveland, TN and return. A total of 60 miles for a test run of her mainline capabilities. In the consist was a tool car (passenger car), NS GP38-2, and 10 boxcars (to give the weight of 5 passenger cars). This is the first real test run of the new NS Steam program. *!greengrin!* *!greengrin!*
