We have power! 🚂💡 THANK YOU to the Emery Rail Heritage Trust for selecting Nashville Steam as one of this year's grant award recipients! This grant will go towards components and the future installation of No. 576's new electrical system. The Emery Trust previously provided funding for the overhaul of the locomotive's air pump, running gear work, and refurbishment of the crossheads and guides. We want to thank them for their continued support of 576!
"This is an encore 70-plus years in the making. So we really want to give [No. 576] the recognition and applause it deserves."![]()
