The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM) was first organized in the year 1959 by a group of Chattanooga railfans who were worried by the disappearance of steam locomotive and passenger trains. As of this date, the museum offers a six-mile roundtrip run that makes it stand as the only full-size railroad museum that operates in the State, and as the only purveyor of passenger service in east Tennessee. This has turned it into one of the State’s trademark attractions. If you would like to pay the premises a visit, you can always inform yourself thanks to the museum’s official website. In addition to a lowdown on the existing restoration facilities and current restoration projects, you can take a virtual train ride on the Missionary Ridge Local as an appetizer. Brochures can also be procured under the pertinent heading, and a railroad birthday party can be arranged by following the provided link.
