Former US Army ALCO S-2 locomotive number 7100 debuted to photographers on April 6, 2002, with restored paint after a three-year rebuild. Pulling a freight train consisting of a high-side scrap metal gondola, a KCS bulkhead flatcar, and a Southern caboose, 7100 performed a number of runbys along the route of the Secret City Scenic Excursion Train.
