Louisville and Nashville 1593 Steam Train

In September 2019, an old workhorse was brought back to the limelight. No. 1593 is a 2-8-2 Mikado type engine that would've hauled freight for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. With the L&N Historical Society hosting their convention in Chattanooga, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum brought out 1593 for two special excursion trips; one to Chickamauga, GA for the convention, the other to Summerville, GA. On each of those days, 1593 performed admirably and became a quickly loved staple in rail preservation in the South. We're just kidding. It's the 4501 with magnets, a bigger headlight and an L&N 3 chime.
