Washington & Lincolnton 203: Lindy Rambles Again!

After a decade long rebuild, Washington & Lincolnton 203 "Lindy" finally returned to service on the Three Rivers Rambler just in time for the 2025 Christmas Lantern Express. Built by Baldwin in 1925, this was also the locomotive's 100th birthday year. This video begins on a wet & dreary November 30 as we chase Lindy's first excursion since 2015. Then we move on to sunnier December days as the engine leads the rest of the season's excursions from downtown Knoxville along the bank of the Tennessee River to it's source at the confluence of the Holton and French Broad Rivers.
