Double Header Trains

The double header trains tag at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM) invites you to explore the mesmerizing world of two locomotives working in tandem to pull a train. This practice, prevalent in the golden age of railroading, is brought back to life at TVRM, allowing you to witness the raw power and grace of two steam engines working together.

Our double header trains tag offers exclusive insights into the selection, preparation, and functioning of the locomotives chosen for double heading. Get up close with iconic engines like #630 & #4501 as they double head on special occasions, creating a visual and auditory spectacle that’s nothing short of awe-inspiring.
