Chattanooga Station Track Diagram?

[Anonymous]

Anybody point me in the direction of either some arial photos or track diagrams of the Chattanooga, TN passenger train station, which is now the Chattanooga Choo Choo Holiday Inn Hotel? I'm interested from a history standpoint of how the tracks were arranged and how it was operated. I've heard it was one of the larger "stub ended" passenger terminals, where most of the trains were 'backed in' from a wye off the mainline. I'd really like to find some accurate diagrams showing all the tracks when it was in operation.

This being such a famous station ("Pardon me, boy. Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?") I figured historical information would be easy to find, but I'm having a hard time locating any track diagrams or original photos.

Thanks for the help!

Jshrade,
I'd like to suggest that you contact Mr. Brent Lambert, DIrector of the NMRA's

Since NMRA headquarters are in Chattanooga, Brent may have what you need at reasonable cost, even if you're not an NMRA member.

I thought I might have this. I bought a prototype track plan chart a couple years ago at an antique store. Turned out to be a Louisville and Nashville 1980 track map of Nashville, not Chattanooga. Sorry...
