This image shows a newspaper clipping from the Journal and Sentinel about the Tweetsie Railroad. The article was written by Roy Thompson. It is entitled "Beloved 'Tweetsie' Toots Her Way Across the Pages." The article describes the route of Tweetsie Railroad along with a brief history of the train. At the top of the clipping "Railroads N. Tweetsie railroad. N." is written in red pen and "Aug. 3, 1958" is written in pencil. The article is about Tweetsie by Julian Scheer and Elizabeth Macdonald Black, which was a book from 1958. Thompson explains the history of the train and also its importance to the community. The article also includes a few anecdotes about the train over the years. Nearly half of the clipping is a picture of Tweetsie. On the back is an article entitled "House of the Week." There are also a few partial advertisements below the article. Some of the text from the other side of the newspaper can be seen faintly.
