Montreat 2011: Great Smokey Mountains Railroad Part 1 of 2 (8/5/11)

For our last full day in North Carolina, Claire and I decided that we would spend the day doing something we've never done before while on vacation in that part of the country. While driving to our whitewater rafting trip just a couple of days before, we'd seen several billboards about going on a train ride through the mountains with the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad company. Since neither of us had ever been on a train before, we figured we'd give it a try and see what it was like. We had the option of riding on the Nantahala or Tuckaseegee lines, and since we had rafted down the Nantahala River just two days before, we decided to ride the Tuckaseegee.
