Bemberg Depot

Well, the name says it all. Too bad the color doesn't. This is a nicely preserved, although not restored, historic station. It would be great if the city of Elizabethton would do something with this station. It's been vacant and used for various and sundry businesses over the years, from pet shops to used car lots. I'd hate to see a careless owner damage or destroy this piece of ET history. I intend to do some plans of this station while it's still with us.

If it ever comes up missing, though, I'm going to suspect Ken Riddle of having moved it to the Doe River Gorge.
