Southern Railway 630

Southern Railway 630 is a Ks-1 class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive built in February 1904 by American Locomotive Company's (ALCO) Richmond Works of Richmond, Virginia for the Southern Railway (SOU) as a member of the Ks-1 class. It was primarily assigned to haul freight trains on the Murphy Branch between Asheville and Murphy, North Carolina until its retirement in August 1952. No. 630, along with sister locomotive No. 722, were sold to the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC) to be served as switchers.

In 1967, Nos. 630 and 722 were both sold back to the SOU to haul excursion trains for the steam program until being replaced by larger steam locomotives in the early 1980s. No. 630 was leased by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM) in Chattanooga, Tennessee until it was pulled from service in 1989. Additionally, the locomotive and other pieces of the museum's rolling stock was added to the NRHP under the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum Rolling Stock listing. Being donated to TVRM by SOU's successor Norfolk Southern (NS) since 1999, No. 630 was restored back to operating condition in 2011 to haul excursion trains for TVRM until late 2025.
