This is the old abandoned train depot at Orme. The tracks are gone long ago. The ticket booth can be seen protruding from the front outside wall like a bay window. A lot of the glass is broken out of the windows, but luckily that is not so evident from this angle. This depot was on a railroad line that ran from Chattanooga to Nashville, and was owned by the NC and St. Louis Railroad. One branch of the tracks ran from the Alabama/Tennessee state line to Whitwell and on to Pikeville through the Sequatchie valley. Only in recent years was the track taken up that ran all through Marion County. It paralleled the present-day TN state highway 28 on its west side. The tracks remain, though replaced with newer track, in the South Pittsburg area.
