Tweetsie: The East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2023
- After the end of the Civil War a railroad was built to haul iron ore from the Cranberry mines in North Carolina down to a foundry in Johnson City, Tennessee. This railroad also hauled passengers through the rugged mountains and it was these folks that gave that railroad the name "eat taters and wear no clothes" for its initials ET & WNC. They also gave it the name it's known as today: the Tweetsie.
Today we tell the story of the Tweetsie Railroad.

Bring back the railroads!
This was an excellent video y'all! I was particularly flattered to see the fact that a photograph I took was used! (It's the one that shows up at 3:12, and then at 4:33). That was a pleasant surprise! Looking forward to more history videos from y'all!
You are welcome! I now realize I forgot to give you credit in the description...I will remedy that right now!
@@StoriesofAppalachia Ah, it's no problem! I think I put it on Wikipedia anyway, so it's free for anyone to use, but either way, the credit is greatly appreciated!
Enjoyed the story.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
