Walden's Ridge Relics

During a trip to SARM in Oak Ridge, TN, on New Years of 2022, we documented dozens of rare locomotives in their collection, including former Southern Railway 2608, the classic Tuxedo paint scheme and faint lettering still visible to the naked eye if you look close enough. After finding new life on the Walden's Ridge Railroad, noted by the WRRX reporting marks, the unit now resides in the deadlines. This string of locomotives and rolling stock was tucked out of the way, however a security guard gave us guided access to the to the otherwise locked away area to grab a few photos. Looking back, that was probably a bold move considering what the site is, however at least we documented it.
