While traveling through west NC, my son wanted to go to Bryson City, to see the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad depot.
Although we were limited in time, but we did the math and figured about where the train should be as it did an excursion trip from Bryson City to Dillsboro and back.
It was on the return trip as my wife who driving saw the train in the woods across the way on Hwy. 74 east bound from Cherokee, NC.
Here the excursion concept has two cabooses behind the head engines. One was for viewing and riding and the other for a power generator, it reminds me how I will setup my next model RR concept the same way with passenger cars.
Another great day of rail fanning with the family even on a return trip from the holidays.
One of the engineer, call out to Caleb with a smile and called us "Foamers" but he took it in good humor and smiled back.
Also, we hear in 2016 there will be an active steam engine on this line off Hwy. 74, keep watching and we will keep you posted.
