The '''Tennessee Rail Runners''' were a professional indoor football team proposed to begin play in the [[Ultimate Indoor Football League]] for its 2012 season. Based in [[East Ridge, Tennessee]] (a suburb of [[Chattanooga, Tennessee|Chattanooga]]), the Rail Runners would have played their home games at [[Camp Jordan Arena]] as a member of the UIFL's new South Division, joining the [[Rome Rampage]], [[Florida Tarpons]], [[Mississippi Hound Dogs]], [[Carolina Aviators]], and [[Lakeland Raiders]] as well as the existing [[Eastern Kentucky Drillers]] and [[Huntington Hammer]].

The Rail Runners were the second attempt at indoor football in East Ridge, following the [[Tennessee River Sharks]] which only played the [[2006 National Indoor Football League season|2006 season]] of the [[National Indoor Football League]] before folding. The Rail Runners ceased operations prior to their inaugural season.
