I just got this in the mail today, scored it off of eBay. This is the employee magazine for the big rayon Mills in Elizabethton. As far as I know, it's the only time they used the railroad as a cover photograph. The station is where all the employees got on and off. It was called Bemberg up until World War II, and they thought the name was to German, so they renamed it Port Rayon for the duration of the war.
My late Uncle Ernie's name is in it. I had no clue he'd been in Seattle in WW2, wish I knew more about that.
He's quite a character, my father's oldest brother. He passed away from a heart attack in the 90s. He was quite possibly one of the smartest people I have ever known, and was one of the chief geologists for the State of Florida for several years.

Now that is wicked. Awesome P51
