Chattanooga is a city with a rich transportation history. It is famous for the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" (http://www.choochoo.com/), Lookout Mountain's Incline Railway (http://www.carta-bus.org/CARTA%20Web%20Site/Incline/Incline%20Home%20Page.html), and a fleet of free electric shuttle buses (http://www.carta-bus.org/CARTA%20Web%20Site/Electric%20Shuttle/Electric%20Shuttle%20Home%20Page.html). Join us for a tour showcasing transportation and history in the Chattanooga area.
Our first stop will be a tour of the A.C. Kalmbach Memorial Library (http://www.nmra.org/library/), the official library of the National Model Railroad Association and the Official Railroad Library of Tennessee. Then we will take a ride on the Tennessee Valley Railroad (http://www.tvrail.com/), the largest operating historic railroad in the South.
Our third stop will be the Chattanooga Hamilton County Bicentennial Library (http://www.lib.chattanooga.gov/) to hear more about their historical photograph digitization project.
