Does anybody have any pictures of 154's charter as TF 78, or 4501's charter? There are one or two on Railpictures, but i am anxious to see more!

Here's one:
Knoxville & Holston River #154, renumbered and relettered as Tallulah Falls Railway #78, crosses a short trestle while pulling a Dynamo Productions charter on August 16, 2015

RP rejected the picture, so the link will only work for six more days.

Beautiful Shot! I forgot about the charter otherwise I would have been out there chasing and videoing and such!

Neat shot! The light 2-8-0 with a slightly dusty look, the freight consist, and the heavy exhaust suggest a scene out of Lucius Beebe's "Mixed Train Daily."

How many of us wish we could travel back in time with a modern camera?

Actually, it reminds me more of "Extra South". The G & O folks did a great job on the 154-not many 19th century locomotives running out there.

They sure did, she doesn't run as often as we'd like. 203 is the mainstay, something about the city of Knoxville not liking coal smoke is what I heard, so we take every chance we can with 154. They are about to start work on their former stone mountain 4-4-0 which is an oil burner too.

Well, if the folks in Ktown don't like coal smoke, make the Stone Mountain loco a wood burner.
