We really enjoyed the ride. It is a bit pricey, but worth it.

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.
