Ride vintage late 1940's equipment over Tennessee's oldest branchline during the 150th. birthday celebration of Wartrace, Tennessee, a junction on the CSX Nashville-Chattanooga mainline. Excursions will run three times on Saturday October 4th. and twice on Sunday afternoon October 5th. Tickets are $7.50 roundtrip for adults and $3.50 for children. Tickets will be sold trackside the days of the excursions. Trains will operate over the Walking Horse & Eastern Railroad (former N&C Shelbyville branch) to a working Tennessee Walking Horse farm and return. The birthday festival includes a Civil War re-enactment of the Tullahoma Campaign with over 2,500 participants. Music, food, rides for the kids, an L&N Railroad historical exhibit and an L&N caboose will all be on hand for the event. CSX dispatches 20 to 25 daily trains through the heart of Wartrace's town square. For additional information about the trains, the festival or lodging call (931) 389-6144 or e-mail ACEinspect@msn.com
