Like this article, but could someone please work in a mention of Nashville hero Jere Baxter and his relationship to the line? I think that Baxter, Tennessee is even named for him. It's right on the old TC line. Also, perhaps a mention of how nice the old Cookeville station was?

Isn't the locomotive in Centennial Park from the NC&StL, not the TC?

Comments transferred here[edit]

I just took the following (from User:Lite1x out of the article and moved it here:

The building and steam locomotive mentioned above are not Tennessee Central. The building was the NC&StL (Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis) Railway office on Broad St. near Union Station. Union Station served the NC&StL and L&N railroads. The TC station was at the end of Broad St. by the river. The steam locomotive, which is in Centennial Park near the Parthenon, is an NC&StL locomotive once used to haul the railway's premier passenger trains as well as heavy freights. It was removed from service in 1952 and placed in the park in 1953.
There are no known surviving TC steamers, but a locomotive similar to some the TC had is on display at the depot museum in Cookeville, Tenn.
A related note; Commuter passenger service is scheduled to begin in fall of 2006 from a station being built on the site of the former TC passenger depot at the foot of Broad St. The Music City Star will use the former TC, now Nashville & Eastern, route running east.
