Location: Tweetsie Railroad

Tweetsie Railroad is celebrating the history of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC) during Railroad Heritage Weekend on August 24 & 25. Guests can immerse themselves in the golden age of railroads with Tweetsie Railroad’s historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives and many other activities throughout the weekend.
In addition to the train rides, guests can tour the Tweetsie Railroad Locomotive Shop to get a glimpse into work done to preserve Engines No. 12 and No. 190. Tweetsie’s Locomotive Shop is one of the few places in the country that restores, rebuilds, and creates impossible-to-find parts for steam-powered locomotives. Guests are also invited to visit the Memorabilia Room to see historic artifacts from the park itself and the ET&WNC Railroad.
All Railroad Heritage attractions are included with the purchase of a daily admission ticket except for the vintage coach car. It requires a $5 donation per rider to help fund ET&WNC railroad preservation projects.
