For the first time in 99 years, on August 21st, 2017, a solar eclipse will happen in America. With such a special event coming up, what are your plans for the upcoming eclipse? Me and my dad are going on a special train, the Copperhill "Solar" Special, operated by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, using it's own cars, and assisted by the Tennessee Overhill Heritage Association. This train will run from Delano, Tennessee to Copperhill, Tennessee and back. When we get to Copperhill, we will be in the path of the eclipse, meaning we will see the totality of the eclipse instead of part of the eclipse. Where I live, I will be able to see somewhere between 90 and 99% of the eclipse. When we got tickets yesterday, there was only eight seats available on the entire train. This excursion runs on the former Louisville and Nashville's 'Hook and Eye' route. What makes this route unique is the 'Hiawassee Loop,' which is just like the Tehachapi Loop, where the track spirals over itself. Trains usually depart from Etowah, Tennessee, but in this case, it departs from Delano, Tennessee. I'm not certain why the change in departure location, probably to get to Copperhill in time for the eclipse. I will note that my mom works at a county school, and the county school board has ordered enough glasses for every county school employee and student, given that the eclipse will happen on a school day. Anyway, what are your plans for the upcoming solar eclipse?
