N.C&St.L #576 built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1942. An extremely modern piece of steam technology the engine is semi-streamlined and equipped with roller bearings. Very briefly these engines were the pride of the N.C&St.L passenger fleet but were quickly dropped down to freight service after WWII. Technically a 4-8-4 "Northern" class this name simply wouldn't do on a southern railroad and they were named the "Dixie" class while in service.

The locomotive had a relatively short service life as the N.C&St.L dieselised very early on and the engine was given to the city of Nashville, TN as a gift in 1953. In the 62 years hence the engine has sat in the cities Centennial Park on public display.
