Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Excursion Video

Our family vacation during the Thanksgiving holiday 2008 captured at the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad excursion on the morning of Friday, November 28, 2008. Departed Bryson City Depot at 1030 EDT and traveled to the Natahala Outdoor Center (NOC) arriving around 1205 EDT then the GP9 moved along the siding for the trip back to Bryson City. Guests were allowed to walk around the NOC for about an hour then we departed at around 1310 EDT and returned to Bryson City Depot around 1430 EDT.

Do you know if GSMR 1751 and GSMR 1755 were formerly SJVR 1751 and SJVR 1755? I did not see anything about the locomotives on the website.

Re: Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Excursion Video

Haven't been to GSMRR in about 3 years. Is the old "Fugitive" movie set still intact?

Re: Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Excursion Video

The run between Dillsboro and Bryson City has been discontinued and the Dillsboro depot has been shut down. GSMRR layed off about 40 employees back in September 2008 due to economic conditions. I suppose the "Fugutive" set is still there, but I did not see it from our excursion between Bryson City and the NOC.
