There is a video source for standard gauge steam on the ET&WNC. It is Steam Shortlines Southern Style, available from A&R Productions. it has about 15 minutes of ET in the 60s. It shows the Johnson City yards and Bemberg well. Their Number is 800 246 5898. We(the ET&WNC RR Historical Society) worked with them to produce a narrow gauge video set 4 years ago.(Has it been that long?) Time does fly. Johnny Graybeal President, ET&WNC RR Historical Society

I saw you had created thislist on the Slim Rails Web site, and figured I'd join in. I am primarily aClinchfield modeler, but am currently planning a large switching layout of Johnson Cityset in the mid to late 1960's. Included will be the E.T. & W.N.C. from J.C.to Elizabethton. I figure this location and era gives my a unique opportunityto run second generation EMD power on the CRR and Southern portions and steamon the E.T.& W.N.C. up to 1968 and Alco's after that. Anyway, as you cangather, my primary interests in the Tweetsie are it's standard gauge years. Hopethat's not taboo. So far I have aquired photos of all the standard guage locosI figured this group might have insight into other questions. Recentlyaquired and possibly of interst to some of you is a large number of CRR waybillsfor freight traffic originating or terminating in Johnson City. Many are forcars delivered to or loaded in Elizabethton and interchanged to/from the ET&WNC.They list the industries who either loaded or recieved the cars. Again theseare for the 1960's so may be of limited appeal. Anyway, hope to get to know yousoon.
