I am curious about the operations of Franklin Industrial Minerals Railroad from Crab Orchard to Rockwood, TN on a section of former Tennessee Central. When and how often do they operate a train?
The local operated by NS I think makes those runs but not sure of how many times a week. I live outside of Rockwood and seldom see them. That line is out of Harriman that goes there sort of by-passing Rockwood. According to Google Earth the track is at 760 ft and rises to 1445ft at the tunnel on the mountain. poneykeg
