Railroad locomotives and other train models will be on display at the Dixie Line Days 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 20 at the Walking Horse Hotel. Admission is $5.

The all-day train show will feature operating model trains, dealer swap tables, how-to clinics for model railroaders, switching and model contests, a discussion with a steam locomotive engineer, live music by The Dixie Flyers, food and door prizes.

As an added attraction the roar of 12,500 horsepower in motion, courtesy of CSX Transportation, will be on display as full-sized 10,000 ton freight trains rumble through the heart of Wartrace just yards from the hotel.

The Nashville Ntrak club will set up and operate over 30 feet of their N scale model railroad empire. Dealers in used Lionel, American Flyer and the popular HO gauge brands will also be on hand to display their wares.
