Southern #4501 is still decked out in the ever-iconic sylvan green and gold paint, and she's still never looked better than this. We did not know if we'd ever catch 4501 running the local, so when we saw this opportunity, you know we had to jump on it. *4501 has received a few touch ups since the last time we saw her: The Southern logo and TVRM reporting marks were added to the cab windows (even if it is just a magnet) The axles were painted white on the lead truck and driving wheels The Virginia & Southwestern 3 chime whistle was brought back Enjoy the Southern 4501 as we see her on the Missionary Ridge Local during the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's Founder's Day! #tvrm #southern #southernrailway #green #steam #steamtrain #steamengine #steamlocomotive #locomotive #engine #train #railroad #railway #whistle #chattanooga #tennessee
