Knoxville before dawn
It's 5AM and the crew of a Southern Railway Knoxville local job is tanking their aging Consolidation before departing eastbound with a number of loads destined for local industries just east of town.
This image was captured during an April, 2011 photo shoot on Knoxville's 3 Rivers Rambler, which is a tourist line that operates on the Knoxville & Holston River Railroad. The featured locomotive this day was the 1890 vintage Southern Railway Consolidation #154, which had recently been restored to operation after decades as a static display in a local park.
