Tim and mine his friend Ken took me(well I drove, they just guided) on a driving tour of the old route. We found a Linville River Boxcar, and then we followed the old route(was a blast when we meet a few cars), then we went to Johnson City and saw the old engine shed(that was interesting). Then we caught some csx, and ns in Elizabethton.
I saw the old JC shed about two years ago. While that convention was there, I snapped a picture of an NS train. It was a nice close to that year's meet.
Yea, i'm thinking about joining the society. I had a blast at this years convention, well at the one day I came anyways. I definitly wouldn't mind going more often.
I'm all the time coming to Johnson City, TN to help out with family. And I have a Great Grandfather whose now passed who served on the ET&WNC RR between 1939 and 1946. And everytime I drive up from NC, I drive on the Old Railroad Grade Rd. I love it. It's amazing!

Yes. The diesel train ride is in the Doe River Gorge near Hampton, TN. The tunnel without track is west of there.

Are there any plans in retoring track the rst of the line?

The track is owned by a church camp. If they do get the funds to do it, they'd like to replace the rails to an old top deck truss bridge.
