NCPS Reunion 2026
Join us for The Decherd to Columbia Branch Line
May 15 to 17, 2026
Note: The website previously listed the 2026 Reunion as The Return of Engine 576.
Unfortunately, 576 will not yet be ready to roll by then, so instead our 2026 Reunion will be focused on The Columbia Branch, which runs from Decherd, TN to Columbia, TN.
There are probably more former NC & StL depots thought to still be standing on that 88-mile stretch, than on any other branch.
They would include Winchester, Belvidere, Maxwell, Kelso, Belfast, Columbia, and maybe Talley.

Details coming soon

Nashville Steam Preservation Society continues to make progress
in the restoration of Engine 576.
