Review:
The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway is one of the most relaxing train rides in the nation and can be found amidst the lush Chattahoochee National Forest in the charming mountain village of Blue Ridge. Children of all ages love the fun and historic ride, which is a 4-hour round trip and winds 26 miles along the stunning Toccoa River. The vintage open-air or climate-controlled rail cars let you see a side of the “antique capital of Georgia” that can’t be seen from the road. The ride starts and ends at the historic 1905 depot in downtown Blue Ridge and goes through the towns of McCaysville, GA, and Copperhill, TN. The 2-hour layover gives plenty of time to eat lunch and explore the surroundings.
