Watertown, TN: Tourist Railroad Turntable

(Satellite, they plan to install the turntable in 2025.)

Nashville Steam posted four photos with the comment:

Yesterday, members of Nashville Steam and the Tennessee Central Railway Museum attended the official groundbreaking ceremony for the future Watertown Rail Yard & Turntable! This multi-year project will reinstall the former NC&StL turntable from the Tilford (Hills Park) Yard in Atlanta that will once again turn No. 576 on future excursions. New lead and display tracks will also be constructed. 

A hearty congratulations to the City of Watertown on this achievement! And a big thank you to R. J. Corman Railroad Group for their support with this project!

Kevin William Jones: They ought to go up to Cookeville and back again for there excursion that's good news what there doing I'm proud of them.

Kevin's comment must be wishful thinking rather than the plan because that would be a long tourist railroad ride. But I'm guessing it would be scenic.
