Nothing but love for all of the black men who were forced to build the Smokey Mountain Railway.

I just watched this on my local PBS station. Brought back great memories of this area. My Aunt and cousin lived in Robbinsville and we've ridden the trains many times over the years. My uncle worked building the Fontana Dam . Beautiful land and people. Take both trains to experience all of the splendor and history of it. Great time of the year to be there. Happy Easter to all!

Fantastic documentary. We rode the steam train a few years back and we want so much to get back up there one day sooner than later.

I bought an excursion trip for my brother and I to celebrate his 50th birthday 🎂 What a memorable experience. My grandfather was an engineer for Clinchfield until he retired. I love this video about my Appalachian heritage. God bless you all🙏🏻❤️🕊

My daughter and I rode these rails about 6 years ago. We had a good time. I'd like to do the dinner train some day.
-
This is absolutely dazzling to see. I always enjoy train and farm videos, and this one is no exception. Beautiful scenery as well.

Rode the Nantahala River Gorge excursion this past Sunday, great trip, dinner on train was fantastic. Planning on going back this August for the Tuckasegee River Excursion.

6:13 Tony Franklin was fireman on my cab ride on #1702 who gave me permission to put sand in the flues, initate the water injectors, keep an eye on the boiler pressre and water level, check down the tracks, sweep the cab floor and even do some bell ringing during our maneuver at the NOC. I did the $450 steam cab ride so I could get an extra two hours of boiler observation credit for my steam training at Hocking Valley Scenic Railway with our #3.

My husband and I used to ride the GSMR nighttime dinner train at least once a year. Several years they used the last locomotive from The Fugitive. We have since moved to Missouri, but I'd sure like to do it again. I'm sure the locomotive has long since been retired. I hope they've been able to restore it somehow. For a long time, The Fugitive has been one of their biggest attractions.

Ahhh, nothin better than the sounds of a harmonica and the hum of the 567 prime mover together in harmony.

It's been since the 1960s. That was my last ride on a small line passenger service. very lovely.
-
If you have not been on this train and been in western North Carolina you have not had fun. Another way to enjoy it.

I rode the GSMR train last week and definitely agree that riding in the open air car gives you the best experience. Then I got to see 1702 the steam engine train in person and run down the tracks, it was the highlight of my trip.
