NS STEAM IS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont know how to set up a link but it is on trainorders.com
Its also on Trains' Newswire.
I'm very happy and excited to see steam coming back to NS. I never thought i'd see the day where it would return. A big thank you goes out to Mr. Moorman for bringing steam back!

Highly unlikely. Note that the steam locomotives involved in the revival are owned by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. They are also smaller and less likely to be restricted from certain lines.
I don't know if this is true or not but Wick Moormen talked to Steve Sandberg about steam on ns expediently n&w 611 and the friends of 261 is still looking for another steam locomotive
According to a release by the UTU, it may possibly be in place by this fall in the Chattanooga TN area. The locomotives involved are Southern 4501, 630 and Tennessee Valley RR 610. The proposal is currently under negotiation with TVR, more info to be released later.
My guess is that they will run trips around Chattanooga rather than system wide, ie Chattanooga to Jelico, Chattanooga to Birmingham, Chattanooga to Huntsville.
