We have two where I used to live in TN. The Tennessee Central which was split up among three railroads in the late 1960's was finally torn up between Cookeville and Crab Orchard Tennessee in the late 1980's or early 1990's(?). The depot in Crossville (just west of Crab orchard) was remodelled. I am assuming it is still standing and has a gift shop or some type of business in it. I have not been their in three years so I am not certain. Their is an excellent Trains article on the TN Central in 1987. The article was split into two parts. The other one is the Oneida and Western which was torn up in 1954. I remember seeing the old roadbed when I was younger. The O & W was a 38 mile shortline between Oneida TN and Jamestown TN. The old depot in Jamestown was still there a couple of years ago but was not looking very well on the outside.... Also, their is an old O & W trestle in Big South Fork Recreation area that is still standing and has been refurbished. I think you can walk across it. <br /> <br />Regards, <br />Whit
