      Thank you I'm just glad that as many as possible are getting rescued. The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum will definitely put them to good use

    Very sad indeed....especially for us Chattanoogans. 😢 I can remember when I was a small child our parents would take us down to the station house. I was always amazed at how BIG the place was! lol! My dad (God rest his soul) would tell us stories about his train travels as a small child to Baltimore to see family. He had some tales to tell too. lol! Thank you for this trip down memory lane this morning. I will always cherish those memories. ❤

      I hate to lose even one but at least they are trying to save others and not get rid of them all

    It's a sad double edged sword.
    Would you rather see them sitting there rotting away, knowing they're beyond repair. Or part them out to better some of the others.
    Thanks for the video. I believe you documented a piece of history with it.

      I hate that they demolished that particular one but I am at least encouraged that they are trying to save the others even if they don't end up at the choo choo every train car saved is a bit of History

    I stopped by the choo choo today, forgetting that I hadn't watched this video yet. Have they published plans for what they will put in their place?

      Some cars will be restored and moved around. Some are going to TVRM and the 2 dining cars will go to new homes. At least most will be saved

    It sad enough that the spur track Into the terminal got removed so TVRM can’t access it anymore

      So the trolley ended up getting gutted and now its a bar at Bluebird Row Apartments that is in the back (Where the old Ice Skating rink was, then Track 29)

      Rides ended sometime in 2015 or so. It sat in the back of the property for a while. I got to film it in 2016 when it was sitting in back
