Description

A black and white photograph of a train pulling up to Sunset Station on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, near Sunset Rock. The photograph shows multiple travelers standing on a wooden platform, watching the train approach. The standard gauge and steam train with a tinder on a track had a known reputation as being a small gauge railway. This line ran from the Point Hotel to Sunset Rock and was later converted to standard gauge tracks. The #33 train was owned by the Belt Line Railroad and was initially used in local suburban service around Chattanooga.
