A weekend of steam, TVRM Railfest & SR 630 on the mainline

[CarmonH]

Finally, almost 4 weeks after our honeymoon trip to Chattanooga for the TVRM railfest and the premiere of the Southern 630 on the NS mainline, I have all my pictures and videos finished and online.

We spent 5 wonderful days running around shooting the 630, the Southern 6133, and the NS F units in the sun, the rain, and at night. I got to meet a lot of people I had only talked to online, meet back up with old friends, and enjoy the history that was unfolding as we all watched.

The sight and sound of a steam locomotive is pretty much what hooked me on this hobby, and I am looking forward to many more trips in the future to enjoy the 630, 4501, and anything else we can find running. After listening to Emmett and other talk about the old NS and Southern Steam program,  and now getting to experience a little of that excitement for myself, I hope the NEW steam program last a long time.

Follow this link to 20 of my favorite shots from our Chattanooga trip, and I hope you enjoy them

Also, the rest of the video clips I shot are now up on YouTube. This link will take you there.  There are 5 clips of the 630, and one with the Southern 6133
