A Limited Edition Tangent Scale Models PS-4427 covered hopper car painted for freelance railroad Tennessee Southern!  Road Number Variant: TS 205339.

The Tennessee Southern is a great freelance model railroad created by Allen Whitaker in 2000...with the help of a few friends!  It is a gritty class one railroad that prides itself on customer service. The heritage of the railroad was initially a spinoff of Southern Railway and Louisville & Nashville lines. Which later in the timeline the railroad began to either merge or outright take over various shortlines and regional carriers. Thus expanding the railroad to operate in 12 states east of the Mississippi River and.

The headquarters are located in Knoxville, TN. The railroad follows various operating practices that of the Southern Railway, GM&O/ICG, and others. The railways primary commodities are; coal, aggregates, autos, steel, scrap, grain, plastics, textiles, forestry products, etc.  The railroad is very competitive in the trucking and intermodal market as well with access to many ports on former ACL and GM&O lines. The TS may be the smallest class one railroad but they are a competitive group challenging the other railroads with their "True Service" motto.

The TS operates two paint schemes 1. The Rocky Top paint scheme of Tennessee VOLS orange and black.  2. The Tuxedo that Southern Railway units wore proudly.  Be sure to check out the Tennessee Southern Model Railroad Facebook Page to see images of motive power, rolling stock, and the layout!
