    ! ! RETURN TO THE HIGH IRON: THE OPERATION AND INTERPRETATION OF MAINLINE STEAM EXCURSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES by Joseph M. Bryan A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University August 2015! ! ! ! Thesis Committee: Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk ! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family for their unending love and support throughout this entire project. I would like to especially thank my mother for being such an incredible role model whom I look up to everyday. I would also like to thank Dr. Carroll Van West and Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk for their guidance and patience in making this idea become a reality. I would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their assistance in this project: Ron Davis, Fran Ferguson, Cheri George, Trevor Lanier, Jennifer McDaid, John Nutter, Deena Sasser, Jim Wrinn, the Norfolk & Western Historical Society, Norfolk Southern Corporation, the Southern Railway Historical Association and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. Their invaluable support and materials are very much appreciated. Finally, I would like to thank the staff and board of directors of the Virginia Museum of Transportation for deciding to take a chance and restore the Norfolk & Western Class J No. 611 steam locomotive to operable condition and, as a result, providing me with an incredible thesis topic. ii!! ABSTRACT The steam locomotive is one of the most recognizable artifacts from industrial history. After their demise in the mid-twentieth century, those that were not cut up for scrap found homes at new transportation museums and with railroad historical organizations.

  • "Just the Ticket" 6
    01 1 The above was penned during the last week of September, however with three days to go much of what you will find in this edition arrived with me. Despite this material suddenly giving the editor copy to work with, I still feel that much of the editorial which appears below remains pertintnet and so I have decided to leave it in unamended. elcome to the October edition of ‘Just the Ticket.’ Here in the UK we are now experiencing a true ‘Indian Summer’ as the nights have draw in, but the days continue W balmy, even hot at times under occasional unbroken blue skies, (or at any rate in my part of the country). You would think this should ensure even more opportunity to run trains on a garden layout – it does, but do I have the free-time to make use of the opportunity? Rarely it seems, and so for much of the time the locos and rolling stock patiently remain in the cupboard. Last month, I felt there was a very noticable slowing down of train related email traffic to and from myself, and began to see the submitted material to the newsletter getting distinctly thin on the ground. On the one hand, this is the continual challange to anyone fool enough to try and produce such a newsletter as they basically stand or fall by their quality of content but on the other hand the lone editor can hardly be expected to generate it all, which results in a dichotomy of readers eagerly looking forward to each new edtion and an editor sat wondering what on earth he can write about.

We hope that you enjoy your weekend with us and, to Ex-Southern Railway help you plan your day, you may wish to ‘Lord Nelson’ class 4-6-0 note some of the key features. No. 850 Lord Nelson It’s been a long time coming, but making its debut on Severn Valley metals, prestigious Maunsell-designed express passenger locomotive No. 850 Lord Nelson adds an essence of Southern glamour to proceedings. Visitors Entering service on the Southern Railway in 1926, No. 850 accumulated 1,349,617 miles by the time it was withdrawn at Eastleigh in 1962. Affectionately known as ‘Nellie’, owned by the National Railway Museum, but residing on the Mid Hants Railway, this malachite green locomotive will be a ‘rare cop’ whilst in unfamiliar Great Western territory! Ex-Great Western Railway ‘Hall’ class 4-6-0 No. 4936 Kinlet Hall Only a stone’s throw away from its namesake, No. 4936 Kinlet Hall returns to the Severn Valley after a 4-year absence. Built in 1929, Kinlet Hall was based initially in the Northern Division at Chester and Shrewsbur y sheds, before venturing down to the South West where the locomotive was eventually withdrawn in 1963. ‘Kinlet’ carries the unique distinction of not only being saved from the scrapyard, but also surviving a fall into a bomb crater during a Luftwaffe raid in 1941.
