Time travels by train

NASHVILLE — A long, silver string of passenger coaches glisten in the morning sun as they await passengers to board.

Porters stand ready to check tickets and help passengers step onto the train. Soon, in the distance, a whistle blows, signaling the departure is near.

The view resembles a scene out of the 1950s, a time when trains were the preferred method of travel.

However, the setting isn’t confined to the history books — it can be found on Willow Street at the Tennessee Central Railway Museum.

Every year, the Tennessee Central Railway Museum offers more than 20 excursions from Nashville to various Middle and East Tennessee cities, including Watertown and Cookeville.
