ALTOONA, Pa. – Norfolk Southern has unveiled its Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railway heritage locomotive.

The glossy blue unit, AC44C6M No. 4851, made its debut in a video that NS posed on its social media channels last night. The video shows Juniata Locomotive Paint Shop employees working on the locomotive.

The Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia traces its roots to 1891, when the Chattanooga Southern Railway completed its line from its namesake city in Tennessee to Gadsden, Ala. The railroad entered receivership in 1892 and was reorganized as the Chattanooga Southern Railway. The TAG emerged from the Chattanooga Southern’s 1911 receivership. NS predecessor Southern Railway acquired the 87-mile TAG in 1971.

In October, NS nominated four railroads – Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railway; Atlantic & East Carolina Railroad; Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway; and the Delaware & Hudson Railway – as candidates for its latest heritage locomotive and sought votes on social media.

The railroad displayed the locomotive at a town hall meeting with employees in Altoona today.
