Tweetsie Railroad: #12 4-20-2024

Tweetsie Railroad: #12 4-20-2024.
We are back at Tweetsie once again. After hearing about the activation of locomotive #12 for the first time in the 2024 season, we wanted nothing more than to return and watch the little 4-6-0 do her magic.
*Normally #190 would be running right now, however she still retained the cylinder leak from opening day. The part is very difficult to get to and would require more than a week's length to fix it. The crew fired up locomotive #12 to give them more time to fix the 190. The key point to take away from this is steam locomotives require a lot of heavy maintenance that takes a lot of work, time, money, and skill to execute. Tweetsie takes pride in having one of the best railroad shops in the country and can handle almost any task you throw at them. Big, small, fast, slow, routine, unusual, etc.
*This is the first time the public would see the #12 pull a consist with the new car 6.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of locomotive #12 as she makes her early debut for Tweetsie Railroad's 2024 season!
