North Carolina Transportation Museum

http://panzerschreckleopard.deviantart.com/gallery/#North-Carolina-Transportation-Museum I bunch of photos I took of the place. I've still got 50 more to upload.

 

Well, they do have one steam loco. being restored to running condition for the second time since it became part of the museum.

 

No, it's a 2-8-0 No. 604. The "604" in the photos is actually Sou. No. 542.

 

Where is the Graham County Shay 1925??? :tb-confused:

 

According to information I can gather (ie: wikipedia ++): They have 9 diesel and 6 steam...

and based on the schedule, they have one operational steam, and about 5 operational diesels -- Rail days is amazing if you're around in april-may of next year:

Rail Days at the North Carolina Transportation Museum: Steam and diesel train rides, model train expo, live music with Tom Fisch, CASI Chili Cook off.

I've been and they give locomotive cab rides in a small freight train for ~10.00 -- steam cab rides for 15 i think...

oh, and the chili cook off.

yeah. make sure you save room for that...!

 

Should this thread be moved to the "Railfan Photos" section?
