A Depot That Outlived the Rails
What We Shoot
Start low on the brick façade and tilt up to the roofline; cut to a wide shot showing the depot against Main Street. Have the presenter walk into frame and stop beside the building.
Story / Narration
This small brick building in Niota has stood here since 1854—and it is recognized as Tennessee’s oldest surviving train depot. It has seen the railroad transform this town, and it survived a war that made these tracks strategically important.
