A month or so ago,
I somehow came across either a Tennesse or Kentucky un-used (I do not mean the former IC Kentucky shop) and it was a small rural shop. I cannot find it for the life of me and I have looked everywhere. I know it’s either Tennesse, Kentucky, or West Virginia.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays fellow modelers and train lovers.
Have you tried going to Google images and searching Tennessee abandoned railroad shop?
I have and the only thing to appear are other non RR shops
I found the shop I was looking for. It’s the Knoxville Locomotive Works.
Doesn’t look very abandoned to me.
According to a quick Google glance, it’s an active locomotive rebuilder, maintains locomotives used by its parent company and expects to hire 200 additional workers in the fairly immediate future - and that was gleaned without opening any of the articles that came up.
I will admit that they probably don’t use the one steam loco parked northwest of the long building - or the diesel between it and the end of that track.

Well I found the industry in October, forgot about it till December. Looked again for the industry before making this thread and found the industry through locomotive wikia.
At the time I found the KLW, it didn’t have any rail cars or locos present.
You can tell by the footprint it use to me much larger.
Extremely and I love how it looks. A friend and myself are looking into building something like that on a future layout
