On August 27th, 2023, Tweetsie Railroad continued their annual Railroad Heritage Weekend event. Starting Sunday with a doubleheader of 12 and 190 on the Wild West excursions. Followed by separating 12 from the Wild West train to pull the vintage railfan consist in the afternoon.
Unlike any recent Heritage Weekend event, a thunderstorm rolled in at the time 12 would usually detach from 190 at the frontier outpost to fetch her own train, causing the final doubleheader run to be incredibly fast and both engines came into town on the same train. 190 would back up from the water tower and allow for 12 to grab it's train while waiting for the storm to clear.
The evening held many runs of both consists before wrapping up the day and staging the locomotives by the train shop.
