Who We Are
The Tennessee Central Railway Museum is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization. Our mission is to preserve, restore, interpret, and operate historic railroad equipment to educate our guests about America's railroads.We have a growing collection of historic equipment, but TCRM is much more than a static museum. Our specialty is operating historic trains, providing a unique opportunity to ride a 1950's vintage train through beautiful Middle Tennessee. Since the 1989, TCRM has been running passenger excursions from Nashville to points east. Current destinations include Lebanon, Watertown, Cookeville, and Monterey, Tennessee. Trains typically consist of air-conditioned coaches with refreshments and souvenirs available onboard. Many trains also include deluxe accommodations in special cars available at extra cost. TCRM has preserved a collection passenger cars, cabooses, freight cars, and locomotives. Our volunteers are at work on most Saturdays restoring and maintaining this equipment. As a 501(c)(3) organization, donations to the museum are tax deductible. The Museum headquarters is located in the former Tennessee Central Railway Master Mechanic's office at 220 Willow Street near downtown Nashville. The building houses offices, a library, and a collection of railroad material, including the largest collection of Tennessee Central Railway artifacts to be found anywhere. Monthly membership meetings are held at this facility.
