The Legacy Lives
The Best Friend of Charleston arrived
in Atlanta, Georgia in time for a December 25, 2007 celebration of her
first trip in Charleston on that day in 1830. She will be on
display in Norfolk Southern Corporation's lobby at 1200 Peachtree
Street along with a collection of the Charleston Chapter of the
National Railway Historical Society's artifacts. The photographs
below document her delivery to Atlanta under the capable management of
Superior Transportation. She arrived in Atlanta at 3 a.m.,
Saturday, December 1st, and her placement in the lobby was completed by
5 a.m., following a classy display of engineering at its finest by
Superior Transportation.
