The Clinchfield Railroad Historical Society will induct two new members into the Clinchfield Hall of Fame on Saturday.
A.J. Peoples and his late father, Jack Peoples, will be the first father-son duo to be inducted into the Clinchfield Hall of Fame; the Hall of Fame recognizes those who have had long careers working for the Clinchfield or CSX Railroad.
âThe Clinchfield Hall of Fame was organized in 1995 by the founder, the late James A. Goforth, to perpetuate and keep alive the memory of the Clinchfield Railroad,â said Martha Erwin, curator of the Clinchfield Railroad Museum.
The inductees of the Clinchfield Hall of Fame are chosen by a committee of three based on letters of recommendation written to the Clinchfield Railroad Historical Society on the nomineesâ behalf.
