1315 poses at the Wheat boarding site for the many L&N fans. |
|
The first official runby with 1315 was conducted on
the curved bridge at milepost 2 south of Blair, Tennessee.
|
|
 |
Another runby was conducted at what is called kudzu hill. Here 1315 shows that it can still make that beautiful ALCO smoke. |
|
Following the runby, 1315 was posed at the same site.

 |
The next series of photos was at the south end of the Poplar Creek bridge. |
|
The afternoon event for 1315's debut featured a short
freight train.

|
 |
The next photo session was conducted near the TVA substation. The surrounding hills are appropriate for the C-420 as its regular territory was just to the east of this site. |
|
Poplar Creek bridge was again a prop for the event.
|
 |
 |
For only the second time in SARM’s history, the K-Line saw a public train. Here, 1315 is working up the line’s hill with a freight. |
|
A bit further up the hill, 1315 looks perfect with
its short freight.
