Preserved steam locomotive on display. The Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. Chattanooga Tennesee USA. May 1990.

Smokey Mountain Railroad 2-6-0 type # 23 on display. The Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. Chattanooga Tennesee. May 1990.

One of the pleasant vacation surprises I have found on My travels, are those occasional relics from railroad eras past on display. This old 2-6-0 mogul
type steam locomotive, is on display in Chattanooga Tennesee, at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. This is the former Chattanooga Tennesee Union Passenger train terminal, turned in to a museum and hotel. This locomotive unfortunately, has been cosmetically backdated to look like a locomotive You would see in a Western Movie of some kind. Still, it is preserved for all to see.
