An old, weathered red caboose sits in overgrown grass in front of a corrugated metal building.

Bring life on the rails back to life. With generous help from Tennessee Central Railway Museum, WRM has acquired an amazing project for renovation, Tennessee Central #9857 caboose. This 1920&#39;s caboose has a long history the TC fleet. It has seen many trips through Watertown over the years.&nbsp; While in serious need of repair, this caboose will e brought back to working condition not only for display in the Watertown Rail Yard but will also give an opportunity for guests to experience rolling the rails at the tail end of a train through excursion trips. This historic icon of days gone by will be an active museum piece telling the story of Watertown, the Tennessee Central and living on the rails. By donating, you fuel careful restoration work, school visits, and community events that share how the railroad shaped Watertown and American history. 🌟 Thank you for helping us keep these tracks&mdash;and their stories&mdash;alive for the next generation.
