After midnight Southern SW-1 switches the 203's caboose as the conductor checks the tracks. Thanks to Three Rivers Rambler for a great railfan weekend.

I would seem our intrepid fireperson has detected an obstruction on the tracks ahead.

Late night out in the country with a freight train and a steam locomotive. I don't get much better than this. Thank you Lumadyne.

This rare SW600 is assigned to KXHR's Three Rivers Rambler excursion operation. It sure looks sharp in its Southern-inspired livery.

Engineer Brent Norvell peers intently over the 203's tender as the engine runs tender-first back to downtown Knoxville with the return trip of the Three Rivers Rambler railfan special.

Photographers jostle about to shoot the Three Rivers Rambler railfan special as it prepares to depart downtown Knoxville. KXHR's engine 9, a rare SW600, poses next to the 203.
