Climb aboard the historic Murphy Branch Line! Any season is a great time to book your seat on board and enjoy the ride through some of the most beautiful scenery in WNC. Our passenger train excursions are single-day trips that include a layover destination in the heart of the Nantahala Gorge or the quaint mountain town of Dillsboro, NC. View the beauty from a different seat, a train seat, and experience the thrill of a true operational railroad! It’s a canvas of colors and a breath of fresh air, it’s the Great Smoky Mountains. We have plenty of options whether you’re a family of all ages or adults only. Onboard dining options, pre-purchased box lunches, bar service, and plenty of southern hospitality! Don’t miss the chance to have a front-row seat!
