About Johnson City Railroad Experience:
Beginning as a small club and museum titled, “George L. Carter Railroad Museum”, on
the East Tennessee State University campus in 2007, the Johnson City Railroad Experience
has grown into a multi-layout, multi-exhibit museum! The Johnson City Railroad Experience is a
non-profit dedicated to sharing the history of railroads in the Johnson City area.
