Under repair today at Tennessee Valley RR Museum, Chattanooga as Southern 630, this is the 2-8-0 as East Tennessee & Western North Carolina 207 in 1959. Railroad, as the East Tennessee today, is said to be shut down, but intact, has its original enginehouse, which once repaired both standard and narrow gauge steam.

The East Tennessee is still in business, however it is basically a switching operation in Johnson City, with most of the track now in operation acquired recently from CSX. The old ET&WNC standard gauge to Elizabethton is out of service and will likely be soon abandoned. The enginehouse remains in use and the railroad has two green-and-gold EMD switchers in a sharp looking version of the old Southern diesel scheme.
