Re: Tennessee & North Carolina NG - 1962 et al

I shot both of those engines at the 1970 NRHS convention in Charleston, SC. 722 came in from Atlanta with a train, 4501 came in from Spartanburg, and 630 was living in Charleston at the time. The last day 630 doubleheaded with 722 to Branchville. 722 headed on to Atlanta and 630 headed back to Charleston with 4 coaches, and met 4501 on her train on the way back. Just got this super 8 film converted to video last year, but haven't done anything with it.
As Earl said 630 is still operational, and will be running this year out of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
Here are a couple previews which include 630 in operation along with 4501 and even a little 611 on the mainline. I recommend the TVRM trips to Summerville. Where else can you get a 100 mile steam excursion without diesel helpers? 2017 was the last year 611 ran excursions on NS mainlines. Enjoy!
