    It's a testament to the men who've worked with the locomotives of Tweetsie that they're **STILL** able to say they've never missed a run due to mechanical issues.

    This would have been just a little bit after the time I first rode the TRR in the early 70s. Thanks for posting this!

    I worked there for Frank 1976-78. I use skills he taught to this day, and they weren't all mechanical. Tough (very tough), but a fair man! 35 years later, I still don't want someone to say they can't do something. There's always a way!

    I wonder if that was the trip where they hit the unit carrying the camera.

      Just the rides. And the Wild West shows have changed due to liberals ruining shows. But the train ride really hasn’t changed

      @@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266 yeah just the announcer on the speakers changed and the scenes change as the years go by. in the 1980s there was just a little wagon, but in the 1990s they added wild west buildings and built a new fort boone, and then the 2000 and 2010s are the times they made the new frontier outpost and new fort boone.
