Why no coverage of Saturday's Summerville GA double header?
Author: LTCerny

Am surprised that nobody has posted photos or videos on TO of Saturday's TVRM double header from Chattanooga TN to Summerville GA,  this is a 100-mile round trip behind steam without diesel assistance and with engines forward in both directions thnks to the turntable at Summerville.  The line has not seen steam in almost 4 years.

That did not hamper the crowds. More and more photos are going straight to social media, not legacy sites such at this and others.

Allow me to scoot out on a limb and suggest that folks that post here were not there.  That would tend to lessen the chance that something would end up here, would it not?

While understanding the marketing draw of a double header I'll still ask if I'm the only one that actually prefers a single locomotive on trips that run at a pace as leisurely as do these Summerville excursions? It would seem #4501 is capable of keeping the schedule unassisted while likely making more impressive sounds in the process. Am I missing something here or just out of touch?

Maybe after four years it was a chance to blow off a little steam......
