About the Tennessee Central Railway:

The Tennessee Central Railway was a regional railroad that operated from 1884 to 1968, serving central Tennessee and southeastern Kentucky. Known for its friendly service and connection to coal mining regions, the TC hauled significant coal traffic in addition to agricultural products and general freight. The railroad's hoppers were a common sight traveling between coal mines in the Cumberland Plateau and industrial customers throughout the region.

About USRA Twin Hoppers:

The United States Railroad Administration (USRA) standardized freight car designs during World War I to improve manufacturing efficiency and interoperability. These 55-ton twin hoppers became essential for coal transportation, featuring two separate compartments with bottom discharge doors for efficient unloading at power plants, industrial facilities, and coal yards throughout the South and Midwest.
