Tweetsie Railroad | Our State - Large format
Through the mountain valleys near Blowing Rock,
steam train whistles can still be heard at the
Tweetsie Railroad. Two visionary entrepreneurs
saved engines 12 and 190 from the scrap pile as
centerpieces of the recreated Old West. Come see
how they industriously maintain these engines to
deliver passengers back to yesteryear aboard one
of North Carolina's most beloved attractions. We'll
feature fascinating archival footage of Engines 12
and 190 with thanks to Tweetsie engineer, Tim Smith
who compiled it from various historic collections.
