Southern 154: Christmas in the Marble City (Three Rivers Rambler 2019)
The end of 2019 would once again find 129-year-old former Southern Railway 154 at the head of the annual Christmas Lantern Express trains operated by the Three Rivers Rambler in Knoxville, Tennessee. I chased at least one run from all four Saturdays that 154 operated, and she was as nice a sight as ever steaming up the Tennessee River three times each day. Nothing says Christmas in Knoxville like the sound of a steam whistle echoing across the downtown riverfront. The engine also put on one great show each trip climbing the grade to the trestle at the end of the run; the sold-out trains had the old 2-8-0 and her diesel helper really working.
I wish a Merry Christmas to all who watch this video, to Stevewivibeevy, Dossett Yard Productions, The 'Nooga Railfan, and everyone else I met trackside while chasing, and to the men & women of Gulf & Ohio Railways who make this possible every year.
And a Merry Christmas to Stevewivibeevy, Dossett Yard Productions, The 'Nooga Railfan, and everyone else I met trackside while chasing.

Southern 154 looses her footing as she reaches the overpass, the train was close to capacity so idk if 5 coaches and 1 open-air car is right at her limit or not.

HiDef: Southern Steam Special - 154 & 630 Knoxville to Alcoa 11/13/11
On a VERY windy day in east Tennessee, Norfolk Southern's 21st Century Steam program continued the weekend's festivities in Knoxville. This time, they featured two Southern steam locomotives: G&O's 154 and TVRM's 630.
In this video, you will follow train 951 from its departure in Knoxville's City Yard with engine 154 all the way to Alcoa, where 154 will be swapped for 630. From there, you'll see the train steam back north to Knoxville on the NS K&A Line. Smoke, steam, and ashes are in the air during the second installment of S-Line Productions' Month of Southern Heritage series. Enjoy!
Southern 154: Summer on the Three Rivers Rambler
In the summer of 2015 the Three Rivers Rambler ran the Vintage Ballgame Express, which took passengers beyond the normal Rambler route to the Historic Ramsey House, where an 1860s-style baseball game would be played. Ex-Southern 2-8-0 #154 hauled the train on July 11 and August 29.

Knoxville is a city on the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee. Downtown, the Market Square district has 19th-century buildings with shops and restaurants. The Museum of East Tennessee History has interactive exhibits plus regional art, textiles and Civil War artifacts. James White’s Fort, built by the Revolutionary War captain, includes the reconstructed 1786 log cabin that was Knoxville’s first permanent building.
Knoxville is in Eastern Tennessee, United States. It is the third-largest city in the state. It is the home of the University of Tennessee's primary campus (UTK) and site of the 1982 World's Fair. Knoxville is on the Tennessee River about an hour from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once called the 'scruffy little city', the downtown is undergoing a rapid renaissance as young people move into the lofts and apartments created from the factories and warehouses of another era. On any evening of the week, throngs of residents and visitors can be seen at the sidewalk cafes, theaters, restaurants and night clubs along Gay Street and Market Square. The University of Tennessee, with its 27,000 students, is within walking distance of the downtown, separated only by the World's Fair Park.
One can still see remnants of the 1982 World's Fair in the Sunsphere, a rising structure topped with a gold sphere which dots Knoxville's skyline, however, most of the other structures from the Fair were removed to create a large city park which attracts families, students, and artists on weekends and sunny days. The World's Fair brought a lot of attention and development to the city, including high-rise office structures, and the four-star Hilton, Crowne Plaza and Marriott hotels.
Knoxville is home to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, but the city seems dominated by the University of Tennessee Volunteers (men only) and Lady Volunteers athletics. The basketball teams play in the 21,000+ seat Thompson Boling Arena, and the nationally recognized football team plays in Neyland Stadium, one of the largest on-campus stadiums in the world at 103,000 seating capacity. During the fall you will find plenty of orange in the foliage, but you will see Big Orange year round with the people of Knoxville.
Dubbed a 'scruffy little city' by the Wall Street Journal before the 1982 World's Fair, Knoxville is strutting its stuff these days as an increasingly prominent and well-polished destination for outdoor, gastronomy and craft-beer enthusiasts. Knoxville is also home to the University of Tennessee and its rabid college-football fan base. On game days the whole town is painted orange as fans pack Neyland Stadium to watch the beloved Volunteers. But there's more to Knoxville than football. No longer content to play second fiddle to nearby Chattanooga and Asheville, the city – a former textiles production center – now touts itself as a base camp for visitors to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sugarlands Visitor Center is just 29 miles away, and Knoxville is a far more enticing spot to eat and drink than other cities near the park. For hikers and mountain bikers, the city's ever-expanding Urban Wilderness is becoming its own reason to visit.

Tallulah Falls 78 - Southern 154 at Three Rivers Rambler
Southern Railway 154 cosmetically altered to resemble long gone sister engine Tallulah Falls 78 while leading a mixed freight. Originally Southern Railway 202, the engine was sold in 1946 to the 58-mile shortline in north Georgia known as the Tallulah Falls Railroad and became their No. 78.
154 is a G class 2-8-0 Consolidation-type steam locomotive. She was built in 1890 by the Schenectady Locomotive Works (ALCo) for the Southern Railway and retired in 1953.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Tallulah Falls 78's 'resurrection'.
