Review & FAQ:

The Tennessee Central Railway Museum (TCRM) is a small museum dedicated to the heritage of rail transport in Tennessee and the central South. Named in honor of the former Tennessee Central Railway, which ran from 1902 until 1969, the non-profit facility features a collection of historical and beautifully restored rolling stock and railroad equipment, including nine diesel-electric locomotives and 30 engines and cars, as well as railroad artifacts and memorabilia, and photographs. Located inside a freight depot, the museum also offers a unique opportunity to ride a 1950's vintage train through beautiful Middle Tennessee with passenger excursions running from Nashville to destinations such as Cookeville, including Lebanon, Monterey, and Watertown.
