Nestled in the mountains of Georgia in the Chattahoochee National Forest, historic Blue Ridge awaits you and your family. Known for friendly folks and old time atmosphere, it's definitely a place to visit. Blue Ridge has been called the "antique capital" of northwest Georgia.
Our regular 4 hour, 26 mile round trip winds along the beautiful Toccoa River for one hour in vintage climate controlled or open air railcars. The relaxing ride starts at the historic depot, built in 1905 in downtown Blue Ridge, then stops for a layover in the quaint sister towns of McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN, one town with two names because it is split by the GA/TN State Line, where visitors have a two hour layover (except 1 1/2 hours on Sunday); plenty of time to eat lunch, shop for unique crafts and antiques, snack on ice cream, visit the Operating Model Railroad display or explore. Then, reboard the train for the 1 hour return trip.
