ELIZABETHTON â The city of Elizabethton should become the proud owner of a train on Thursday, when the Elizabethton/Carter County Chamber of Commerce makes an offer to the Elizabethton City Council to present the antique train display to the city.
The display sits on the side of U.S. Highway 19E on property that housed the Chamber of Commerce until last year, when the chamber moved to its new location in the downtown area.
