772

Baltimore MD

June 2005 - 772 was purchased by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum from Larry's Truck & Electric. They have since restored the engine to its as-delivered NC&StL paint scheme, given it back the number 710, and it has been in regular service - including pulling freight on occasion for the Chattooga & Chickamauga Railway, as well as working on the excursions last year operated on the former L&N Hook & Eye line in southeastern Tennessee.

The air filter boxes are still on the locomotive but the museum will be removing them at some point.
