TENNESSEE CENTRAL Alco RS-3 #255 pulls into Cookville, TN on a cold day in 1951. In tow is a baggage car, RPO, and coach. Scenes so typical of American life back in the day. Families waiting at the station.....clerks and agents at the ready to off load and load freight and mail. Good times from days gone past.
