Caboose
George W. Holley’s father was a lineman for the Clinchfield Railroad and George followed him into the industry. The timeless beauty of the powerful steam engine captured his heart. The family followed the railroad work to this area where George met his other life-long romance, the timelessly beautiful and strong-willed Margaret Sherfey.
George’s nephew, Keith Holley, was the train master at the station in Erwin, TN, when this caboose was being decommissioned in the late 1980’s. Keith helped him to acquire it as well as the track on which it rests. The family has updated the caboose and houses some train memorabilia inside.
