The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum announces special Valentine’s Dinner Trains. The trips will include a four-course dining experience on board a restored 1924 dining car. The excursion trains will depart from Grand Junction Station (directions, info) at 5:30 pm in the evening, traveling at a leisurely pace into Northwestern Georgia and returning at around 10:15 pm.
The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum is pleased to offer this unique opportunity for patrons to enjoy not only a rail excursion trip, but also fine dining enroute while the train travels through portions of East Chattanooga, Chattanooga, and North Georgia. Passengers are encouraged to choose their entrée as tickets are ordered. Patrons may select their entrée of carved English roast of beef topped in a Madeira sauce, roasted stuffed breast of chicken with a wild mushroom cream sauce, or crusted filet of salmon with a béarnaise sauce.
In addition, patrons may choose from true vintage dining in the Dining Car (four to a table), semi-private dining in the Clover Colony, or the Eden Isle Office Car #98 for private parties up to eight.
