Bio
16,000 Christmas lights, two Christmas trains, hot chocolate and peppermint sticks. I'm not sure what else you could ask for. The Cranberry and Linville River Railroad Company graciously opens their layout four days in December. I happen to know that the Superindendent of the railroad works in a candy factory. Trains and candy, yummy.

| | C&LR
| 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.
