The Autumn Leaves Special excursion ran from Atlanta to Toccoa, Georgia, a distance of about 100 miles each way. The power for this trip was C&O K4 class 2-8-4 2716, built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1944. She has 69 inch drivers, boiler pressure of 245 psi, 26x34 inch Cylinders, and a tractive effort of 69,350 lbs. Fresh from a rebuild by the Southern Steam Shop, C&O 2716 thunders around a curve and passes as she leaves the Atlanta metro area on her way to Toccoa.
