The Day the Train Came to Town  Contributor's Pick!       
Its a sunny Friday afternoon in the small town of Monterey, Tennessee where I find three Nashville & Eastern B40-8W's parked at the Monterey Sand Mine tied down for the evening. Tomorrow, this historic 50 car train will be loaded here, the first time a train of that length has visited the former Tennessee Central Railroad in over 35 years. Its the first time in a few weeks a train has been to Monterey, the last being a historic 40 cars long. Now, with 50 cars for the loading, it is quietly showing a small economic resurgence in this small town in middle Tennessee.
