Tweetsie Railroad invites you to celebrate the golden age of steam during its annual Railroad Heritage Weekend August 24 and 25.
“We look forward to this event every year,” said Chris Robbins of Tweetsie Railroad. “It is a unique celebration that highlights the park’s history, and a century of narrow-gauge steam locomotive heritage that began with the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC).”
This is the only time of the year when both of the park’s narrow-gauge steam locomotives are running simultaneously. Locomotive No. 12, “Tweetsie,” will pull an 1870’s vintage coach car recreating the authentic experience of the ET&WNC Railroad. Meanwhile, the No. 190 locomotive, the “Yukon Queen,” will pull a separate train taking guests on the traditional Wild West adventure. On Sunday morning, both locomotives No. 12 and No. 190 will run in tandem as a classic “double-header.”
“If you love trains, this is one weekend you don’t want to miss,” adds Robbins. In addition to the train rides, guests are invited to tour Tweetsie Railroad’s Locomotive Shop and the Memorabilia Room. “This is the one time of year that we allow guests to enter the shop to get an insight into all it takes to keep these historic locomotives operational.”
