It may have improved but when we went, it was VERY slow and really nothing to see.

We had a fun train ride. The time spent in McCaysville was not so hot. The train ride is a must for families visiting Blue Ridge.

We went with a bunch of people from a church group and had a good time. I think the negative reviews here are from people who havent gone on train excursions before - they are ALL very pricey! We were in the open cars and they were clean, I didnt hear any complaints from anyone who attended:-)

The train car was filthy for $171 family of 5 one hour Santa Express. The teenagers were bored to death on the slow train.

We decided to go on a ride on the Blue Ridge Railroad. For 3 adults, 1 senior and 1 child it was $200. All it included was a round trip train ride from Blue Ridge to McCaysville. It is approximately 10-15 mile ride each way. The ride was okay but not worth the price.

My 8 year old cannot get enough of trains. Five model trains keep him busy until we can have exciting adventures like riding the rails. Beautiful scenery along the river keeps it interesting.
