We have been on the train several times and have never been disapointd. Make sure you book an outside seat. Regardless of the weather it will be the best seat. While in McCaysville we visit shops and eat at great resturants. Geocaching is fun to do in town several caches walking distance from the train.

Wife and I took this train ride on a weekday. Very quick check in, we bought out tickets on line and picked them up at the p/u table next to the office. We were in car 332, which was an enclosed car. Very nice car. Nice ride if you like looking at trees! Most of the river was blocked by... More

Our group of six enjoyed this very much. It was a beautiful day and we took a lot of good pictures. Once we reached our destination we had enough time for a quick lunch and to do some shopping.

We loved the train ride both directions, and we had a very nice time at the stop-over on the GA/TN border. I think that it will depend on your individual... More

enjoyed the ride to and from the Tn and Ga border. The open car would have been more enjoyable during nicer weather.

Do not waste your hard earned money, if you take the late evening ride you end up coming back in the dark, great view of nothing. I f you want a real train ride go to the great smoky montain rail road in bryson city. A more appropriate name for this train would be the money train, don't throw your... More

We have taken the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway Before and loved it. It is not a Disney World attraction just a nice relaxing way to spend the day. The train travels about 10-13 miles per hour to McCaysville and then returns to Blue Ridge. You have a 2 hour layover in McCaysville which is just about the right amount of... More
