Fireman's Seat
Title:  Fireman's Seat
Description:  Today, I visited the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga and had the opportunity to ride the museums excursion train, sitting on the firemans seat in the cab of Southern Railway 2-8-0 #630. My Great Grandfather operated this locomotive as the crew fireman in the 1970s on excursion trips all over the South. The seat I sat in was the same one he sat in over thirty five years ago.

A Family Affair
Title:  A Family Affair
Description:  Today, I visited the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga and had the opportunity to ride the museums excursion train, sitting on the firemans seat in the cab of Southern Railway 2-8-0 #630. My Great Grandfather operated this locomotive as the crew fireman in the 1970s on excursion trips all over the South. The seat I sat in was the same one he sat in over thirty five years ago. The photo below is my Great Grandfather in the cab of Southern Railway Heavy 2-8-2 #6605, near Alabama, sometime in 1945. Its not the 630 - I dont have any photos of him in 630, but I thought Id pose as he did back in the day, in one of the engines he would eventually operate thirty years later.
