MISSIONARY RIDGE LOCAL: HISTORIC TRAIN RIDE

Step Back in Time: Missionary Ridge Train Ride

Embrace History on Rails: The Missionary Ridge Local’s Special Three-Day Run

Get ready to make the most of the upcoming three-day weekend! Weather permitting, the Missionary Ridge Local will be up and running on January 15, 16, and Monday, 17th. This isn’t just a train ride; it’s a journey back in time, powered by one of our vintage diesel engines.

The Missionary Ridge Local offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting you over scenic bridges and through the historic pre-Civil War era tunnel. What’s more, you’ll get to see not one, but two methods of turning an engine — a rare treat for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Before you set out, remember to check our website and all social media platforms for any updates, especially considering the unpredictability of winter weather. We want to ensure your experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

And there’s more! While enjoying your trip through history, don’t forget to stop by our Depot Deli for some warm and delicious treats. It’s the perfect way to complement your journey.
