List Members,

Hello, my name is MIchael Baskette. I'm a model railroader in Lexington, KY

a former a native of Johnson City Tennessee. I saw you had created this

the Slim Rails Web site, and figured I'd join in. I am primarily a

modeler, but am currently planning a large switching layout of Johnson City

in the mid to late 1960's. Included will be the E.T. & W.N.C. from J.C.

Elizabethton. I figure this location and era gives my a unique opportunity

run second generation EMD power on the CRR and Southern portions and steam

the E.T.& W.N.C. up to 1968 and Alco's after that. Anyway, as you can

my primary interests in the Tweetsie are it's standard gauge years. Hope

not taboo. So far I have aquired photos of all the standard guage locos
operated in the 1960's steam and diesel, and USGS topo maps of JC and Eliz.

figured this group might have insight into other questions. Recently

and possibly of interst to some of you is a large number of CRR waybills

freight traffic originating or terminating in Johnson City. Many are for

delivered to or loaded in Elizabethton and interchanged to/from the ET&WNC.

list the industries who either loaded or recieved the cars. Again these

the 1960's so may be of limited appeal. Anyway, hope to get to know you

Mike Baskette
