We rode the Blue Ridge last year and enjoyed it. We're going to ride the Hiwassee in April and can't wait!! Is that a G&O GP7? Nice Video , love the song too!

@auburn2008db GP9, it's leased to TVRM by G&O

@TVRM610 Yeah I got to ride it last april along with the Missionary Ridge. The Hiwassee was a great ride beautiful scenery. Now we just got to ride that Chickamauga ride with the steam engine. They weren't running the steam engines when we were there. That was the only thing that was a bit of a let down, but we had a ball, and it gives us more of a reason to go back.

How do they reverse the train at Copperhill?  Or do they?

[roslundb]

Before they get to Copperhill the run the locos around in the yard. Backing into Copperhill the last mile.

is it a round trip or a one way ride

[roslundb]

It is a round trip. Etowah to Copperhill and return. It comes with my highest recommendations.
