2020-January-01-Little Chicago Rail Day
Bibliographic record
Abstract
JOHNSON CITY – On Saturday, Jan. 25, the first event for the 2020 Heritage Days series at the George L. Carter Railroad Museum, located in the Campus Center Building at East Tennessee State University, will recall the region’s own history with “Little Chicago Railroad Days.” This event, the first of 12 scheduled for the year, will feature both past and present railroading in Johnson City, with scale model railroad equipment and vintage memorabilia on display from the region. “These events cover many facets during the course of each year, but this one is special to us because we have such a rich heritage of railroading here,” says Geoff Stunkard, the museum’s Heritage Days coordinator. “The city came to be because of a railroad water servicing stop, and it later hosted three different companies. Today, the two major firms in eastern railroading, CSX and Norfolk Southern, continue to run through the city in daily fashion, whereas many other towns have seen abandonment.” The Southern Railway and Clinchfield Railroad remain very popular among the volunteers who help with museum exhibits. These lines operated both large steam locomotives and streamliners in their heyday. The East Tennessee Railway is the remnants of the original East Tennessee & Western North Carolina, which operated both standard and narrow gauge rails, and is now partially used as the Tweestie Trail that runs between Johnson City and Elizabethton. The cooperative efforts of the Mountain Empire Model Railroaders and National Railway Historical Society volunteers will host this celebration of regional history. There will be special trains in operation on the museum’s 24x44 foot HO scale layout, which is primarily an Appalachian region display featuring the pre-1960s era scenes in design and overview. A major part of the museum’s displays is the HOn3 model of the “Tweetsie” line. The Carter Railroad Museum is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Heritage Day is held the last Saturday of each month. There is no admission fee to the museum, but donations are welcome. The museum is also seeking artifacts for its displays, including the newest addition dedicated to the “Tweetsie,” which is open for guided tours during event days. In addition to the displays, there is also a growing research library, and an oral history archive being established as part of the museum's programs. For more information, visit www.etsu.edu/railroad. The Carter Railroad Museum can be identified by a flashing railroad-crossing signal at the back entrance to the Campus Center Building. Visitors should enter ETSU’s campus from State of Franklin Road onto Jack Vest Drive and continue east toward 176 Ross Drive, adjacent to the flashing RR crossing sign.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
