Welcome to the Trainscapes segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Trainscapes will feature train content including videos of trains and behind the scenes action of trains and locomotives. Some people have an interest in seeing trains, and we here at Geek Alabama aim to please the train lovers!

The National Narrow Gauge Convention was held this week (Sept 11 thru 14, 2024) and Waynesburg & Washington # 4 Steam Locomotive was one of the featured stops. We had visitors from as far away as California, Michigan, Illinois, New Jersey and even the United Kingdom.

# 4 locomotive will never again be under steam unless there is a huge influx of money to the historical society and there is only 400 feet of track there, so even if it should get under steam, there’s not much place for it to run to. To get it under steam again # 4 would have to be shipped out to a professional shop such as Strasburg RR or the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugar Creek, Ohio.
