Great way to see the great Blue Ridge Scenery
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/27/08
Loved the old fashioned train ride! It was a great way to catch the beautiful mountain and Ocohee River sights. Make sure you reserve an outdoor car so you can see the view. The towns we stopped at were typical small America town. Don't expect much in sight seeing, but the people there are very friendly and it was cool to be able to stand in both GA and TN.
I would highly recommend as part of your Blue Ridge Mountain expierence

Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/26/05
We had a great time. Blue Ridge seems like a quite small town, but it wasn't a pain to get to. Found a delicious little hotdog stand in McCaysville to eat at. The train ride was wonderful and the scenes were beautiful, even our little one was oohing and ahhing. We plan to go back in the fall, so we highly recommend it. Sherry and family
