New short fun version:    • 576 Is back on track! (Short Version)  
Nasvhille Steam Preservation Society in cooperation with Mammoet moved one of Nashville, TN's biggest treasures: locomotive 576. After years of preparation, the day finally arrived for the dedicated NSPS team to move locomotive 576 out of the Centennial Park where it has sat for mroe than 6 decades. 576 now rests on tracks connected to the network that it will one day pull excursion trains. With your continued support, 576 will be moved to the Tennessee Central Railway Museum where she will be carefully restored to serve Nashville as a fantastic tourist attraction by carrying excursion passengers on the Nashville and Eastern railroad from Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville east through Donelson, Mount Juliet, Lebanon, Watertown, Cookeville, and even Monterey up on the Cumberland plateau.

This video shows the re-railing operation following the 10,000ft over road move from Centennial Park to the Nashville and Western railroad. Other than pulling the locomotive a few feet at a time and rolling it onto the trailer, this is the first time 576 has traveled in 65 years, and also her first turn. You can really feel 576 breaking loose as she is very tenderly maneuvered into the siding. You can see the many layers of white paint of the wheels shatter and chip off as she rolls through the switch. At the end of this video, the locomotive was carefully retreated after you hear one of the old rails of the siding began to protest and give. The next day the old rail was further re-enforced and the locomotive was reunited with the tender on the siding.
