Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum

On our second day in Chattanooga, we went to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.  While there we checked out all the historical train cars and then we took an hour long train ride.  We also had a chance to watch them turn the engine around on the round-about.

Walking up to the depot.

Waiting to buy our tickets.


Going up to see the little red caboose.

Molly really enjoyed climbing up there and looking around.

Here is Molly and I up in the top part of the caboose.

Walt up top in the caboose.

Molly in one of the passenger cars.  (Love that look.)

Outside the caboose.

Inside another car.  Check out the woodstove.

Molly trying to turn the wheel.

A classic old engine.


It's amazing how big these wheels are.

These old engines are massive.

A passenger car from mid-century...

She looks so tiny.

This reminded me of the little engine that could.



This dining car is currently used for parties and one was going on just then.

Here comes our train!
