- There's something magical about trains, the raw power, immense size, and the sound of that lonesome whistle far off in the distance. The Nashville Steam Preservation Society is working to breathe magic back into a steam engine that been collecting dust for decades in Centennial Park in Nashville, TN. Tennessee Crossroads tells the story of the old 576. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads.

Why anyone would give a thumbs down on any steam locomotive restoration is beyond me. Beautiful job.👍
Maybe they hate steam engines. The only way I'd hate one would be if I was trying to sleep near a heritage railroad/railway and the engine woke me. I grew up on model TTTE and how could I hate them after the kind of childhood I had?
MY DAD WORKED FOR THE NC& STL FOR 48 1/2 YEARS( RETIRED) AND HE ROAD THIS " BIG BOY " MANY, MANY MILES AS A BRAKEMAN , AND AS A TEENAGER , I HAVE RIDDEN THIS ENGINE A FEW 100 MILES IN THE BRAKEMAN'S SEAT DURING IN THE LATE 40'S. IT WAS ACCEPTABLE IN THOSE DAY'S TO RIDE IT WITH YOUR DAD & KNOWING THE ENGINEER & CONDUCTOR ( MY GRANDFATHER) IN THE CABOOSE TOO. I WOULD WISH EVERY YOUNG TEENAGER COULD HAVE THE THRILLS I HAD, IT IS INDESCRIBABLE!!!
I was able to ride a couple times with my uncles as a kid... rides were on diesel locos but great rides just the same!
I'll definitely visit Nashville to see her in action again, count on it.
I'm a big fan of steam locomotive. So let's get this baby up and running.
Man this steam engine is caning back on the tracks. I hope to see it.
Great 👍👍👍 really Fabolous 🍓🍎👄🌹💖💓🏵️💝🎁💘 work for restoration of this steam 🚂 queen 👑👑👑💕 and beauty in it's original 😍 shape ❣️💞💟
Union Pacific is restoring steam engine locomotives and they are awesome too see. I would love to see them on all the tracks around the country. All around the world they still use these beauties that got us where we are today.
Incredible. I’ve walked around that engine many a time. So exciting they are going to restore it for service!
I remember playing on this locomotive when I was a kid
that intro is holy shit 90's.
Great story, Cindy!
Wow, So Cool
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 17 Jun 22.
I worked steam EBT R.R.. when it was a 7 day a week operation.
We had some refurbished engines ;there was two issues need addressed on all of them.. Firstly until a reconditioned boilers Pops Tight it leaks all over, if your not near water you can get in big trouble,kept the fire company on alert ,they tankered us water . Its hard firing till they get tight.
Axle Box / Hot Box ,they got these shaggy oil soaked bags as a bearing . Theses need fitted by cutting down the sponge inside the bag. Its a nasty job hot oil can burn you. You get over a pit ,go under ,hook out the sponge ,put a cut down one in to stop running hot boxs . The only way to fix it
is running it ; we seen some nice newly rebult locomotives ruined because they was know it alls . For both these issues its best to run in the yard . Good luck with it.
Great stuff,we should really save every park locomotive, even if its un-restorable (i think everything can be fixed..) they need to be preserved indoors so we have them for future generations.
This is an interesting steam locomotive, i would love to see another 4-8-4 type engine restored to operation in the southeastern USA as this locomotive is from Tennessee & it would be interesting for southern rr heritage.
She is out of the park now and on her way to being restored
Big Boy 4014 will be up and running within 3 months, can't wait.
Jesus that thing is MASSIVE!!
Axis.... Apparently, you have never seen the Union Pacifics "Challenger" (4-6-6-4 articulated) No.3985 (pronounced - thirty-nine eighty-five) if you think that a Northern class (4-8-4 wheel arrangement) like the one in this video is "MASSIVE"..... then there is the Union Pacifics No.4014 (4000 class - 4-8-8-4) which is now very close to coming out of the shops at Cheyenne to begin it's first live steam tests (has already completed the hydro tests and easily passed) for the FRA certifications, power tests (after live steam pressure test certification) and shake-down runs.
The UP 4014, is TWO of what you see here, under one boiler.... all 1,239,000 lbs of it at 132 ft 9+inches long! It will be heading (if all goes well) the special 150th Golden Spike Anniversary Train westbound for Ogden, UT for the festivities on May 10th - 12th (2019)... and will be double heading with UP's 844... which is not only a Northern (4-8-4) class like this one in the video here, but holds the distinction of not only being the UP's last steam locomotive received (in1944), but The ONLY operating steam locomotive on Any Class One railroad, anywhere.... that has NEVER been retired from active service!!
The UP's Challenger (No.3985) is currently sitting in the steam shop at Cheyenne (WY.), and is in need of extensive firebox work..... which will begin as soon as the crews return with the 150th Anniversary Train from Ogden,UT and elsewhere in late May.... however, UP has decided to do a full teardown, rebuild and upgrade of the Challenger, just as they have, and are doing on the 4014... (there were only 25 of them built.. and only for the UPRR.).
The name "Big Boy" was written in chalk across the side of the front, top steam dome on the first one built (N0.4000), just before it left the ALCO plant in Schenectady, NY in Sept. 1941 and headed for UP's headquarters in Omaha, by an unknown (who did it?) worker at the ALCO plant. Nebraska (arrived Sunday evening, at approximately 5:20pm on Sept. 12th, 1941)... for inspection and acceptance before going on to it's "home" in Cheyenne... where all 25 were based out of, although some were kept at Green River for the run west, over the Wasatch Mountains into Utah to Ogden and SLC (Salt Lake City) yards.
They were initially to be classed (when ordered by Otto Jabelmann - UP's Chief Mechanical Engineer and designer of the Challengers and the 4000 class) as the Wasatch Class (as they were specifically designed to haul tonnage freights over Harriman and the Wasatch Mountains), but when the No.4000 arrived in Omaha, "Big Boy" was still on the dome, and the class became known around the world as the UP Big Boys.

This comment was completely unnecessary. You could've written it a lot shorter, you know.
I want to come and see it.
I think this engine would look good on the Tennessee Valley Railroad alongside Southern 630 & 4501
Its too big Wont fit in the tunnel
Indeed.
Oo yeahhhhhhh my preferite train ❤️
If the $2 to $3 Million to restore a Northern like this is correct as stated.... then just how much is being spent on the UP's 4014 that is not only a Complete tear down and "ground - up" restoration, but also including many new upgrades with newer steel alloys, complete suspension modifications, coal to oil (No.5) conversion, etc, etc.... yielding better than new, in 1941 condition and efficiency?!!?
Ah 4014 is soon gonna be reborned
@@TechnoYacy Already rollin' on the rails :)
melted cheetah I already know :)
Shes being moved out this Sunday!!
Wait til they see a streamlined steam locomotives.
can you guys maybe get people to help out sioux city's steam locomotive everyone would want to hear her voice again
I suggest that all steam locomotive fans and enthusiasts and there are millions of us should boycott all diesels from being used and remove all remaining steamers in parks and return them to active service Put the diesels in parks for the kids. Viva the revolution. Gawd I have forgotten my medicine again. Aha aha aha. All the best guys 👍👍🇬🇧
I admire your wishful thinking, but that won't happen anytime soon.
@@retrokingranch It could be possible, a red prototype steam locomotive finished near the end of the steam era, called Red devil in south Africa could produce 5000 horsepower all on its own, not even considering its immense increase in power once it got moving. It has a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement, but it was too late and of no news to the rise of the diesel power world with common diesel locomotives at the time producing barely 2000 horsepower because of the willingness of railway cooperations to cut costs and manpower in the short term to significantly improve profits.
How are you going to "boycott" superior technology?
@@MarcABrown-tt1fp The continuous tractive effort of red devil is a *pathetic* 37,000 pounds-force, but the continuous tractive effort of an AC44C6M is 180,000 pounds force. The AC44C6M has dynamic braking, a comfortable cab, and M.U. functionality. In the long run though for cost and environmental purposes, electric locomotives, powered by catenary would be the best. The T.G.V. is king of speed with a record of ~357 miles per hour.
Pipe dream im afraid, BUt we should remove all park locos and preserve them properly, preferably operational!
عراقي مر من هنا ✌🏻😎✌🏻🇮🇶🇮🇶
When will this engine be done being restored? I heard like late this year or early next year
Aha... Was this maybe the inspiration for the Glen Miller song Chattanooga choo choo ? Beautiful train. They should keep an eagle or falcon on this site, to keep away the stupid pigdgeons who sh... all over this clean machine ! And it would be an extra attraction, nothing but plusses !
Steam locomotive restoration.
the music on the last seconds who can tel me the exact song?
What are to chances of finding a copy if not the original blueprints for the locomotive? How does restore one work.
You just look at what you have and replicate it as best you can.Sometimes may even have to work from photographs!
Quite possible there are original documents still in existence. Some railroads saved this stuff or donated it.
