The
Cranberry and Linville River is a fictitious railroad based on the
three-foot gauge East Tennessee and Western North Carolina R.R. that ran
from Johnson City, Tennessee to Boone, North Carolina. The C&LR,
circa 1920-1940, consists of two loops that interchange to enable two
trains to run on each loop or one train to run the entire railway. The
C&LR is approximately 1600 sq. ft. with 350 feet of Aristocraft code
332 brass rail and LGB 1600 switches. The minimum radius is 4’ with a
maximum grade of 5%. The railway features an irregular shaped
rubber-lined pond, waterfalls and stream. Like the ET&WNC, the
nearly 8-year old C&LR has tunnels (5 to be exact) and
numerous bridges and trestles. |
