ELIZABETHTON â Thursdayâs Elizabethton City Council meeting saw a bit of history as council members accepted a train display from the local Chamber.
The display was given to the Elizabethton/Carter County Chamber of Commerce many years ago and was displayed on city property next to U.S. Highway 19E where the Chamber offices used to be located.
With the Chamberâs move to its new offices in downtown Elizabethton, it was decided to turn the train over to the city to make sure the train remains properly cared for.
âWe are delighted to gift this icon to the City for safe keeping as we complete our move,â said Chamber Executive Director Joy McCray. âWe hope tourists and train enthusiasts will continue to come and see it.â
