  Teleparallel gravity, an empirically equivalent counterpart to General
Relativity, represents the influence of gravity using torsional forces. It
raises questions about theory interpretation and underdetermination. To better
understand the torsional forces of Teleparallel gravity, we consider a context
in which forces are better understood: classical spacetimes. We propose a
method of incorporating torsion into the classical spacetime context that
yields a classical theory of gravity with a closed temporal metric and
spacetime torsion. We then prove a result analogous to the Trautman
degeometrization theorem, that every model of Newton-Cartan theory gives rise,
non-uniquely, to a model of this theory.
