It was a great experience very enjoyable. We choose the observation package. It was a very beautiful ride and also learned a lot along the way. The a/c was uncooperative on the way back but the staff did everything possible to make our ride enjoyable, even offered to move us to other seating. We were advised that boarding started 30 min before departure, although I would advise getting there around an hour before, even loading went very fast it would have given more an opportunity for seats.
We had a wonderful time along the Hiawassee River with the spectacular fall colors! We saw 2 bald eagles. Jason the conductor made our experience a thousand times better! He's amazing.
Wonderful train ride, beautiful fall foliage, water views and mountains. And our narrator was excellent and the entire crew was attentive and courteous. The accommodations were very comfortable. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Rick and June Smith
Really enjoyed the ride. Very educational. The staff went way beyond for us. We were running late and they waited. My mother in law had to be let off at platform instead of stairs, they accommodated for her.. Everyone was very nice. Definitely recommend the train ride. Loved the music
We had a wonderful experience at TN Valley Railroad! It was a dreary, rainy day and decided to go on the Missionary Ridge tour. It was perfect! We got there half an hour early, but the train left right on schedule. The guys working our train were kind, friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the railroad. We had a choice between an air conditioned car, or one with fresh (window) air. We chose the fresh air, windows down. Choose this, if the weather is nice! The rain cleared long enough for us to see the turntable demonstration and to walk over and see the other locomotives that were being repaired. It was all in all the best first train ride and tour we could have asked for. We will be returning in the coming months with our children. We hope to try the deli next time around because it looked fantastic! We had already eaten and didn’t know they had one in the station. The gift shop was great also! Lots to choose from, affordable and very friendly. The pictures definitely don’t do it justice!
