For the first time in nearly seven decades, Music City's legendary locomotive No. 576: will roll down the tracks this weekend into Union Station.

The recently restored engine dubbed "The Stripe" will stop at the former passenger terminal for a grand reunion on Saturday, said Nashville Steam Communications Manager Joey Bryan.

"Thanks to the extreme generosity of CSX Transportation, No. 576 will be stopping at the former passenger terminal for a grand reunion of the two Nashville landmarks," Bryan said. “We want to celebrate this grand reunion of two local landmarks that helped build Nashville into the city it is today."

Last month the out-of-service train was moved out of Centennial Park two miles to the Tennessee Central Railway Museum.

Officials say there, the train will undergo full restoration which is expected to take a couple of years.

The public is invited to watch the engine roll (not under its own power) into Union Station from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.
