In June of 1993, former St. Louis & San Francisco 4-8-2 #1522 pulled a pair of trips from St. Louis to Centralia, Illinois, as a part of Norfolk Southern’s popular steam program. Lacking facilities to turn the locomotive in Centralia, Burlington Northern took the train on a pair of side trips from Centralia to Sesser, Illinois, where the train was turned on a wye. On the B.N., the train operated as an employee special.
