The diesel-electric locomotive was pulled Monday from the museum's west side beneath the Fifth Street bridge to the railroad shops at Shaffers Crossing. There, the 250,000-pound, 3,600-horsepower engine will be made "rail ready" in preparation for a pilgrimage to Norfolk Southern Corp.'s paint shop in Chattanooga, Tenn., where it will receive a new red, white and blue coat.
