In the mountains of Western North Carolina, narrow gauge steam railroading lives on at the Tweetsie Railroad! Every August, the theme park hosts their "Railroad Heritage Weekend" and it was quite an event!

This video will give viewers a brief history of the original East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad (which started the "Tweetsie" name) and how the theme park came to be.

You'll see Engine #190 pulling the excursion train, including runbys on a photo special at two locations not normally accessible to passengers! Also included is a look at ET&WNC #12 (the original "Tweetsie" locomotive) and Coach #5.

My thanks goes out to the wonderful staff at the Tweetsie Railroad and the members of the ET&WNC Historical Society for putting on a wonderful event!
