South Dakota - Historic Prairie Village
Madison, SD - The village is surrounded by 2 miles of railroad track for the Prairie Village, Herman & Milwaukee Railroad. Buy a ticket to ride one of our trains which run every Saturday at 2:00 p.m. throughout the season, during Railroad Days, the Steam Threshing Jamboree and by special arrangement for groups. Check out one of America's newest turntables and roundhouse in action.
The railroad began with the purchase of an 0-4-0T narrow gauge locomotive from Earl Grice of Mankato, Minnesota in 1969. The Whilimine Victoria No. 7 was built by Orenstein & Koppel in 1927 in Berlin. In 1976 a group of men organized the Historic Dakota Central Railroad and acquired the locomotive, No. 29 (0-6-0). The most recent acquired locomotive is No. 11 (0-4-0T), built in 1924 by Alco at the Cooks Works in Pennsylvania. Also features one of the last remaining chapel railroad cars, the Emmanuel.

Surviving Steam Photo Archive
The purpose of this site is to show current photographs of surviving steam locomotives around the
country. While any steam locomotive can be included here, as the URL suggests the emphasis is on
"park engines", those engines displayed outdoors in city parks, in widely varying states of repair.
I'd also like to focus on engines that exist outside of preservation, in storage or in some cases even in
scrapyards!

Tennessee - 21st Century Steam
As part of the Norfolk Southern 21st Century Steam Program, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM) offered a limited number of public excursions from 2011 through 2015. Power was ex-Southern Railway steam locomotives #630 (2-8-0, built in 1904) and #4501 (2-8-2, built in 1911). Both locomotives were restored to service by TVRM in Chattanooga. Although this program has ended, TVRM offers many great rail excursions, many pulled by our steam locomotives. Check out the Summerville Steam Special as a trip option for a 100-mile roundtrip ride from Chattanooga to Summerville (Georgia) on many dates throughout the year.
