PICTURE GALLERY 7 FOR "MOUNTAIN MEMORIES"


The photo above is supposedly of one of the trains that was used in the "Babcock Days" in the mountains of Tellico Plains and surrounding areas to transport logs and men. Mildred Thomas wrote about the trains on pages 14 thru 16 and page 20 of "Mountain Memories". It is not known which particular train is in this photo. I do not know the identity of any of the men pictured either. Just think of "old 97".
