Early Morning Steam
Southern No. 154 is up early and getting ready for the day.
#154 is a 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive that was built in 1890 by the Schenectady Locomotive Works in Schenectady, New York and was delivered to the East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia (ETV&G) Railway.
In 1894 the ETV&G and the Richmond and Danville Railroad merged to form the Southern Railway. During the locomotive's service life, #154 worked on the Knoxville to Bristol and the Knoxville to Asheville divisions of the Southern.
On July 3, 2010, #154 became the oldest operating Southern Railway steam locomotive when it made its debut on the Three Rivers Rambler and pulled its first passenger train.
