Found out today that a movement for the restoration of the semi-streamlined 4-8-4 "Dixie" railroad #576 has been started. The "Nashville Steam Preservation Society" announced that they will attempt to obain #576 from the city for a restoration to operation. This follows a failed attempt in 2001. <a href="http://www.nashvillesteam.org/">http://www.nashvillesteam.org/</a>   #576 is a very small northern, it had to fit on the railroad's 90' turntables. Aparrently in one test run, 576's sister ran at 110 mph. <a href="http://rgusrail.com/tnnc576.html">http://rgusrail.com/tnnc576.html</a>    <img src="http://rgusrail.com/album/tnnc576/nc_576_12.jpg" alt=" " /> (Photo from rgusrail.com)   This could go through with big names that are on board (among them TRAINS' very own Jim Wrinn) as well as rails and passanger cars lined up if the 576 gets the financial backing it needs for restoration.
