Southern 4501 pulling the evening ridge runner on founders day September 12th, 2026

On September 12th, 2026, I went to TVRM for a special founders day evening ridge runner special, where Southern 4501 would pull the ridge runner for the first and only time this year. Additionally, this happened to be the final ridge runner trip of the season, with the next trips starting in May of 2027. This trip was a blast, and getting to see 4501 operate in light and in dark, and riding in both a closed in car and an open air car made for probably the coolest TVRM trip I've ever been on. Also, I filmed in landscape this time :)
