This line was abandoned in two parts: Between Englewood and Tellico Plains in the early 1980s, and between Athens and Englewood in the first part of the 2000s. In 1997, these bridge piers over US Route 411 in Englewood serve as evidence of the line's former presence through the town; they have since been removed during the widening of the highway. The active CSX (ex-L&N) Knoxville - Atlanta mainline is behind the camera; photo is facing east. Photo by Mike Palmer, 1997.
After decades, a spur into Stokley's Cannery still exists. The machine beside the cattle trailer is the car mover that Stokley's used to move cars of canned foods. Note the crossing is made of used rails. Photo by Josh Monroe, 6/7/2013.
This site on the rail-train is where the siding into Stokley's branched. Photo by Josh Monroe, 6/7/2013.
