I Rode On A 100 Year Old Train

  • How did Americans travel before AMTRAK? I spent 4 HRS in COACH Class on a 100+ Year Railway that began operating in 1905. The Historic Blue Ridge Scenic Railway is a gem that's located in Blue Ridge, Georgia. I've lived in Atlanta, Georgia for 10 years and I recently discovered this this train one week ago. I had to show you the experience!
    My first train experience was riding the AMTRAK to New Orleans over a year ago on the Crescent Line. Have you watched my Amtrak train travel videos? • Amtrak Crescent from A...
    Would you ride on a historic train ride like this?
    (I plan to take more train trips like this in the upcoming weeks so be sure to SUBSCRIBE to see a different way to travel!)

    Haven't done this ride, but looks you had a fun time. My U.S.A. train ride experiences aside from Amtrak (1989) were the classic Colorado/New Mexico services from Durango to Silverton and from Chama to Antonito. Also did the Georgetown Loop. These I did in 1995. Still have fond memories. Cheers from Michael in Melbourne, Australia.

    This would be a heck of a drive but after the Canadian border reopens try to Agawa Canyon train that runs north out of Sault Ste Marie. Ontario, twin sister city of Salt Ste Marie Michigan. It’s a round trip 228 miles to the Agawa Canyon where it stops for a few hours. Some people picnic or hike. The fall color tour is the most popular but it’s spectacular year round!
