This is a page to launch me into further investigation. I am trying to
get some on-line documentation on the railroads located in the state
of Tennessee. I have started by using maps to locate as many railroads
as I possibly could.
This is one of the many railroads that I have discovered in Tennessee.
I am starting to document these lines so that others may enjoy them as
I intend to do over the next few years. I make no promises that this
railroad is still in existence or that any information that I provide is
accurate. This information is based solely on observation and freely
available information.

This railway was once used to carry supplies, equipment, and test articles
to the research facilities at Arnold Air Force Station (ex Base). The
line has now been cut in Tullahoma and the tracks are mostly not used
now. The parts of this railway that might still be used are only
accessible by base personnel and no cameras are permitted on these
parts of the base.
I am in the process to going through pictures of these shortlines and
picking examples to scan and put on-line. I don't have pictures of
many of these shortlines outside of middle Tennessee. If you have
any pictures that you would like to contribute to this documentation
project, I will be happy to have your assistance. If you don't have
a way to scan them, you can send me email
(kfulks@bellsouth.net)
to obtain an address to which you can mail a copy of your pictures. I
can't return them, however so please send copies. If you have scanned
images, I can provide a place for them to be deposited for addition to
the collection. Also if you have additional information about any of these
railroads please send me a message so that I can include it here.
I wish to thank the company of my friend (Mark Bailey), Jobsoft
Design & Development, Inc. for providing me with the space
to carry out this project.
