Great Smoky Mountains Railroad
With Southern No. 722’s boiler now securely back on its frame, we’ve reached one of the most significant milestones of this entire restoration. This wasn’t just a simple lift; it was the culmination of months of meticulous prep work, ensuring every mount, bolt hole, and alignment point was perfect before the two massive components met.
This carefully planned and executed step represents months of preparation and skilled craftsmanship, bringing the locomotive one step closer to operating again in the Smoky Mountains. Seeing the boiler and frame reunited isn’t just a technical win; it reflects our ongoing commitment to preserving railroad history and keeping the tradition of steam railroading alive for future generations.
