East Tennessee Railway
The East Tennessee Railway is a short line pike linking industry in Elizabethton, Tennessee, to connections with CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern in Johnson City, Tennessee, some 11 miles away. Since 1996, the railroad has been owned by Genesee and Wyoming, an international operator of short line railroads. The road serves multiple industries along the line using two diesel locomotives painted in a livery reminiscent of the Southern Railway.
