Faces To Places

Reawakening of Steam Locomotive 576

July 15, 2021 Ken Smith Season 2 Episode 5


In this episode you'll hear about a kids hair-raising experience with outhouse critters and how Big Daddy used good ole country ingenuity to get a clear picture on the television broadcast all the way from Jackson, TN using a pair of vise grips. We also talk about Momma Rodgers favorite country artist, her trip to the Grand Ole Opry and you will discover how the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville got it's name.  I also visit the train shop at The Tennessee Central Railway Museum and have a great conversation with the President of The Nashville Steam Preservation Society, Shane Meador, and Joey Bryan who is the Board Secretary and Communications Manager of Nashville Steam to find out the history, resurrection and preservation of the historic steam locomotive train 576.
