630 goes for a spin on the turntable… the last time she’ll enjoy such a ride for a bit.

TVRM’s Southern caboose was parked on the turntable track, so 4501 had to move it for both engines to be turned.

Sunday was the day that EVERYONE was out for 😅 TVRM did some juggling beforehand - putting 4501 on the Summerville train first, parking the Local in the yard and coupling 630 to the Summerville train.

Shortly after 9:00am, the adventure began!

Saturday was a chill day; 4501 ran to Summerville, while 630 powered her final turns on the Missionary Ridge Local.

I survived the Great Summerville FoamFest of 2025 😅 It was great seeing both 630 and 4501 doublehead a train - both engines put on a splendid show!

Below are some pictures and video clips from the weekend’s activities 😊

George looks like he’s having a conniption lol 😂

My favorite sports pundit (UrinatingTree) said it best:

Buffalo's in the same situation Philly was: They escaped too many close calls, they played with fire too often and got burned by it.

Josh Allen can't bail you out every damn time, Sean.
