I don't think this is the Tennessean. There are more head-end cars than were normally associated with that train, and no sign of the Tennesean's regularly-assigned streamlined cars. The train, as I recall from my research, ran with E6s, or even with a set of SOU's Alco DL109s, between Bristol and Memphis. East of Bristol on the N&W, it would have operated with a J-Class 4-8-4. The streamlined PS-4 4-6-2 associated with this train from its 1941 introduction ran between Washington, D.C. and Lynchburg, Va.
