I am looking for places to travel to that has a passenger railway. Obviously I don't want a commuter train or anything like that but more along the lines of the Smokey Mtn Railroad in Bryson City, NC.

Anyone know of a good place?

The south rim for the Grand Canyon I believe has a train stop at the campgrounds.

 

[Mary Smith]

I might have mislead you there, I don't actually want to ride the train to a camp, but rather drive there in my motorhome and then ride the train for entertainment.

The grand canyon does sound like a nice place to visit, thanks.

 

[JoeS]

Well I think from what other ppl have said is that the train takes you to the bottom of the canyon, Also now that Im thinking about it Williams Az has a train attraction also. If that is what your looking for.

 

[Mary Smith]

Thanks for the info, I'll have to Google that one.

@all- Wow, I didn't realize that there were so many. Thanks for all your suggestions, keep them coming if anyone knows of more. I'm bookmarking all of them.

@bob - mapped that one out last night, I can't wait to go. It appears there is a campground within just a few miles of it that is open until the end of November. Maybe we can fit that one in before Thanksgiving. - thanks

@dogbone- Thomas the Train was at the Bryson City, NC great smokey mtn railway when we were there earlier this year. It was a madhouse lol. My youngest is 10 so I think we are past that. I was just glad they were offering other excursions that day also. Thanks for all the great info.

Wow, I grew up in Utica NY and I not advise anyone camping in that area since the city has gotten pretty run down over the years, as far as the adirondack that place is really cool outdoors.
