THE BEAVER DAM RAILROAD AND THE CRANDULL & SHADY VALLEY RAILWAY OF JOHNSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE contains the history of two northeastern Tennessee short lines: the Beaver Dam Railroad and the Crandull & Shady Valley Railway, both located in Shady Valley, TN. The Empire Lumber and Mining Company, located in Crandull, 8.5 miles south of the Virginia/Tennessee state line, in Johnson County, built the railroads in order to exploit Shady Valley’s vast timber and manganese deposits.
