In 1968, the No. 1 was sold back the Clinchfield Railroad and was restored to its original form and operating condition. For the next ten years, it was the main attraction at public service trips and railfan events throughout the Clinchfield territory. At that time, the No.1 became known as one of the longest consecutive running steam locomotives in the United States.

In June of 1979, a cracked frame ended the career of the No.1. Shortly after its forced retirement, the No.1 was given to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum and restored.
