Hey Ya’ll
I’ve seen photos of Mikado 4501, owned by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (Which I have been to 4 or 5 times), and I have read that it was once used on excursions.
I know during it’s excursions it was owned by the TVRM, and after the NS steam program was over, it went back to pulling trains for the TVRM.
The latest Photo of it in operation I’ve seen was from 1996. And photos from a later date show that it is out of service, as stated on the TVRM website.
Does anybody know if they will restore this wonderful Locomotive???
