Has 8099 even been on the CNO&TP

Just wondering if the loco has ever been on the CNO&TP besides Chattanooga everything else has been ! Correct me if im.wrong but I can't seem to think of a time it was above oakdale! ? Just curious!

It came through Bristol TN/VA the first Heritage I ever saw. I know it was in Norton/Appalachia but thats the only place I have saw it in person  beside Spencer.

I am pretty sure the short answer to your question is No...  I cant recall it ever being up this way anyway.

It is supposed to be in Chattanooga now, most likely for a 92 day inspection, although I cant figure out why they sent it there, when Roanoke was closer.....unless they have plans for it this weekend... ;D

I believe EM is correct---it hasn't rolled on the CNO&TP yet. When it was first painted, it came out of Chattanooga to Knoxville, and then on to Roanoke I think. It showed up in Norton/Andover later (via Bulls Gap), and then ended up in the Bluefield area in pusher service. Of course it was in Spencer as well.

Those are the basics---but I agree I don't recall it heading up the CS.

This weekend would be wonderful.

Thanks guys! I hope it gets to venture out of the coal mines, but does give excuses to head over to the pokey and other West by god Virginia and Va. Areas
