Something you'd not expect to find in Whitwell TN is a boxcar used to transport Jews to concentration camps. However, due to a unique project the railroad car ended up being donated to the school. I'd heard about the project some time ago, but on my way to hike in Savage Gulf today, I stopped by the boxcar. There are only a few of these in America.... and it's a pretty chilling sight.

There's one here at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum. We went with my daughter and in-laws, and my father-in-law had actually seen one in use during WWII. He didn't spend much time there, but he did tell us a little. It's chilling, alright.
Dan...I can't figure out how to get the B & O Railroad Museum into the glossary.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
