Tweetsie Railroad

Sit tight.....this one's going to be the big one!

Our fun-filled day at Tweetsie Railroad began very early! I don't think I've ever been to an amusement park quite like this and I'm sure I was not acting my age! Tweetsie is an real coal-fired steam engine from the early 1900's, or maybe even earlier, that traveled through the Blue Ridge Mountains and it is now the center of park. I could go on and on about the history which I think is so interesting, but I'll save you. So, if you're ever in North Carolina I highly recommend this, we all just had a blast!!!!

We arrived at the park when they opened and we stayed all day. So, you can imagine all the pictures I have to show you all. If you can imagine......seven adults accompanying one little two-year old boy! While this was my first time, the others were reliving past memories from being here before. Amy mainly, since this was where she lost her sunglasses on the train from looking out over Dead Horse Trestle.

Our day began and ended with the train ride. As Tweetsie circled the mountain it made frequent stops as we ran into train robbers, gun fights and all kinds of other excitement!


Tweetsie!

He's ready to go!


Choo...Choo!
