Number Plate 9

George Allison proudly displays his number plate 9 and his gymnastic abilities on the front end of number 12 at Tweetsie RR. I believe it was this year that the drive got started to make the reproduction number 12 plates that were sold by the ET&WNC RR Historical Society. These number plates are highly sought after pieces of railroad history. The only way one of these can be had is to save it from the scrapper's torch.
