UPDATED 6/17/2021 Nashville Steam Successfully Lifts No. 576, Removes Wheels for Refurbishment! Thanks to help from project sponsor Clark Crane, FMW Solutions, and Nashville Steam volunteers, No. 576 is one major step closer to returning to operation. After a few weeks of prep work, two cranes lifted the 220,000-lb steam engine approximately ten feet in the air to provide enough clearance to remove the wheels for inspections and repairs. The whole process took a little less than 3 hours. We cant thank Clark Crane enough for their help and support in lifting No. 576, said Nashville Steam Communications Manager Joey Bryan, their expertise and attention to details made the whole experience very easy. While the locomotive was airborne, the trailing truck, driver wheels, and pilot wheels were removed one at a time. Each driver wheel was dragged using a telehandler rather than rolled due to the lack of side rods acting as a balance to the counterweights. The engine was then lowered onto four steel pedestals. The driver wheels will be sent to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga where they have the special machinery needed and FMW Solutions will perform the repairs and needed maintenance. UPDATED 1/7/2019 The Nashville Steam Preservation Society (NSPS) announced that former Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway (NC&StL) steam locomotive No. 576 will make its long anticipated move from Centennial Park and back to live rails on Sunday, January 13, 2019. This effort is the culmination of more than two years of fundraising and volunteer labor, and it will be accomplished by hauling the locomotive and tender nearly two miles down some of the busiest streets in Nashville on specially-equipped, multi-wheeled trailers. The move of No. 576 will enable NSPS to undertake an in-depth, multi-year overhaul to return the locomotive to operational condition, after which point it will pull excursion trains for the general public on the Nashville & Eastern Railroad, between Nashville and easterly communities including Lebanon, Watertown and Cookeville. UPDATED 4/3/2018 - This 4-8-4 steam locomotive restoration is moving FULL STEAM AHEAD! Non-Amtrak dependent! Currently under restoration in Nashvilles Centennial Park, this massive ALCO-built4-8-4, number 576 (formerly of NC&StL and L&N railroads) is preparing for a move to Nashvilles Tennessee Central Railroad Museum, where she will be fully restored as an OPERATING, COAL BURNING STEAM LOCOMOTIVE! Once operational, the 576 will head excursions, pulling vintage TCRM passenger cars, on the 130 mile-long Nashville and Eastern Railroad, which currently operates between Nashville and Monterey, Tennessee! Locals will recognize the route as the same one that the Music City Star commuter train currently uses. After only 11 years of service, 576 was placed in Nashvilles Centennial Park in 1953and was lovingly cared for by the City of Nashville and its citizens. The 576was designed in Nashville and has called Music City home since delivery from the factory in 1942.
