Johnson City, TN Depot

Prototypes
#1

Clinchfield Depot in Johnson City, TN. Depot is said to have a smuggling tunnel under the road which headed toward town. Part of the tunnel still exsists. I was here a week too early. Open House the 24th of April. Plans are underway to restore the depot.

While in Johnson City, ran over to the Eastern Tennessee Railway yard. No locomotives parked outside. Not much left of the old ET&WNC.

Ran across these on one end of the yard. Apalachacola Northern, Port St. Joe Route.

The tire store across the street must be the old ET&WNC station. I believe the old Southern station was torn down.
