Review:
Located on Cromwell Road, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum was founded as part of the National Railway Historical Society in 1960 to save historic steam locomotives.
A permanent facility for the museum was built in 1970. This included a reconstructed rail line that allows the museum to run a heritage railroad. Passengers can enjoy a ride on the track through the Whiteside Tunnel also known as the Missionary Ridge Tunnel. The “Missionary Ridge Local” is a daily service and passengers learn much about the history of the trains.
Some of the historic steam locomotives include the “Southern Railway 4501” and the “Baldwin 349.” The museum welcomes school field trips and hosts birthday parties.
