Rikki Durden, who is a qualified Engineer, Fireman, and Conductor on the Tennessee Valley Scenic Railroad in Chattanooga, Tennessee, checks the fire in Southern 4501. She is also a qualified mechanic, very knowledgeable about all things trains, and simply loves being around trains, especially steam locomotives. This was my second time riding in the cab of the Southern 4501, as well as a ride in the cab of Southern 630, and it is well worth the cost. Photo taken with permission from Rikki Durden.
