This year we give thanks and gather together around the table... the TURNtable!! We are so excited for our friends at the City of Watertown who were recently awarded a $1.6 million dollar grant for the development of a rail yard and reinstallation of the historic NC&StL turntable, formerly located in Atlanta. We look forward to the many "spins" No. 576 will be doing in the years to come! Click the link to read the article from Andy Humbles and the Tennessean: bit.ly/turntable576 ... See MoreSee Less
