After the narrated video appears to end, there are several minutes of still photos around the shop. Bill Delmar Atlanta, GA ---------- Forwarded message --------- :TVRM machine shop - 30 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDyjsCk9lCM

I talked to my Dad and he said there was some serious storm damage in Chattanooga last night. He said he heard that the Goodwill thrift store on E. Brainard got hit. The former NC&StL caboose that circumstantial evidence indicates may have been one of the two owned by TAG is nearby at a liquor store. I hope it received no damage. Also Dad said he thought he understood that the Alton Park neighborhood where the TAG yard was located got hit. Any idea if there was damage in or about the old yard? Industry has been declining in Alton Park and I would hate to see say the cotton cellulose paper mill destroyed or the railroad wouldn’t have a reason to keep the track in place. There are places in Alton Park that you can stand with a TAG era pic and it look almost the same. Warren

Thanks to all for the update on the caboose. I am saddened by the loss of life and the property damage however. There is only circumstantial evidence that it is former TAG. On one hand it was bought by the liquor store owner from an individual in Kensington on TAG. TAG operated two and at least one was known to be used as a MofW storage locker near Cooper Hights after replaced by steel bay window cabs. Cooper Heights is very near Kensington. Steve Johnson gave me a list of these former NC&STL cabooses that existed after the L&N merger. The only reason I don’t absolutely declare this to be formerly TAG caboose is because I am not aware of its former NC number. Warren

http://csxthsociety.org/railfanning/southernry-tennesseediv.html There are several vintage - early 1970s - Chattanooga area shots on this page. Of interest to TAG fans will be good shots of all three former TAG GP7s in Southern paint. Two on what must be a Southern era TAG freight train and another on a Southern freight headed for Memphis via trackage rights on the NC&StL/L&N. Unless something has changed, all three of these locomotives still exist after 70 years of service. Hopefully at some point one or more will be preserved and restored. Warren

I signed up in November and so far I have only seen one posting from 11/27. Is anybody out there?

You can't be a Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railway and a Central of Georgia Railway fan without being a NC&StL fan. The NC&StL was the first to defend TAG in the mid 1950s when Southern tried to bully TAG out of business. CofG at one point used the NC&StL depot in Rome. I have always wondered if there is any known swaths of the old abandoned NC&StL right of way/line between Kingston, GA and Rome, GA. I know NS uses a little remnant to access the flour mill in Rome. I would have to believe this branch was very light rail with little or no ditching or banked right of way. Most likely cinder ballast etc. and therefore nearly impossible to spot after all these years. Someone correct me but was it not abandoned in the mid 1940s? My wife grew up in the part of Floyd county where this line would have existed. She even had a relative struck and killed by a train back when it was still the Rome Railroad. I sure would love to have a clear idea where this line ran and if any right of way still exists. Warren
