Suwanee 1218

The Norfolk Southern Railroad under the guidance of Chairman Robert B. Claytor operated restored steam locomotive in fan service. Unfortunately, the railroad recently ceased these operations and returned the locomotives to retirement. The viewer will experience the thrill of the largest locomotive the NS had in this service on a National Railway Historical Society trip through Northern Florida and Georgia.
The #1218 is a Class A 2-6-6-4 articulated, originally retired in 1959, it was used as a back-up steam boiler for an industrial park and as a museum display. It was returned to operating condition in 1987 after a 2 year rebuilding program at the NS shops in Birmingham, Alabama.
