Norfolk Southern's Asheville's district contains the loops at Old Fort. On November 1, 2009 the Blue Ridge Special was the first passenger excursion to tackle the grade in many years. Shown in the video are a few clips of the train leaving Asheville, coming down the grade and entering Old Fort, NC.
It would be nice if passenger service returned to this area and to East Tennessee.
