Bring the whole family for a ride along with history as iconic steam engine C&O 2716 takes its first steps in a journey to be restored to operation! The massive locomotive will be escorted from the Kentucky Railway Museum in New Haven, Kentucky to CSX Transportation’s interchange point at Lebanon Junction with an excursion train in tow.

Kentucky Steam and Kentucky Railway Museum are co-sponsoring this 2.5-hour, 24-mile round trip public excursion, dubbed the “Heritage Highball.” Join us for this special event, made possible by CSX and the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum.

As a bonus, Clinchfield 800, a one-of-a kind vintage diesel locomotive, will lead the trip. This special train will not only include CRR 800 and C&O 2716 but also recently-restored C&O caboose 3203 which was rehabbed for Kentucky Steam by CSX at their Huntington WV shops earlier this year.
