[4K] Great Smoky Mountains Railroad Steam Train

The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad operates out of Bryson City, NC over the former Southern Railway Murphy Branch. Since 1988, scenic excursions have been operated along the Tuckasegee River and into the Nantahala Gorge.
For the 2020 fall season, an impressive 25-car train was operated from Bryson City to the Nantahala Gorge. These trips were led by their former U.S. Army 2-8-0 1702, which was rebuilt to service in 2016. GP9s 1751 and 1755 would assist and return.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

@user-we9wz2xd4r because it’s one of GSMR’s locations.

Well, I know 1702, Wait-… did he run in the Nantahala gorge?

[@Kalashnikov3V7]

I rode this during Christmas in middle school. That's one of the coolest experiences.

[@CarolinaASMR]

how does it fee riding a train? too much movement? I want to do it, but I SUFFER from anxiety so idk if I'm going to be able to do this

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

It’s more comfortable than riding a car

[@Thomasboi01]

I like seeing GMSR 1702 running excursion trains. I love hearing the New southern railway 3 chime whistle!

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Glad you enjoyed

[@user-we9wz2xd4r]

Aight, 1702 is one of my most favorite engines! His Whistle feels like a miracle when I went to Smoky mountains, and also my grandma! Thank 1702!

[@user-we9wz2xd4r]

Yeah… it had been a long time before he was restored with sissy engine 1705.

Surprised that 1702 managed to handle the long train consist even with the help of the diesels. Also great whistle.

[@johnathanhardin152]

Never underestimate the power of a steam locomotive

[@evanf1293]

@@johnathanhardin152 Well you should also realize not all steamers can handle that many cars with assistance or not. 734 had that problem for many years before being pulled in 2016

[@Thomasboi01]

I don't think so. She doesn't need help I for one don't like the idea of a diesel helping a steam locomotive.

[@evanf1293]

@@Thomasboi01 its the least they can do with power for the cars and dynamic braking.

Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing! Do you remember the general date you took the train? I’m planning to take my husband for his birthday and hope to catch some fall foliage. Just trying to plan the best time for that 😊

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

This was October 2020. That’s their busy season then, running steam twice a day, six days a week.

[@tiernanflynn]

A true veteran

[@trainmaster0217]

I was disappointed to see the diesels on the end but still a great looking train.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

The train was 25 cars long and there’s no runaround, the diesels are necessary

[@sirrliv]

Jesus wept! 25 cars?! On a tourist railroad?! And none of them were empty either! No wonder they needed the extra pair of diesels on the back. I imagine all three locos were doing their fair share of the work. It's also interesting that this really was kind of a train to nowhere; it just rolled up to a spot deep in the woods... and then went back, just like that.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

The train went through the Nantahala Gorge, then backed up to the Outdoor Center.

[@kevincamp5569]

Would be nice if they could make it a round trip ride, would love to experience that.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

It is a round trip

[@kevincamp5569]

@@DynamoProductions-trains i mean not get to a certain point and go backward

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Kind of hard to find a route that’s a circle

So the trip backwards can you turn your seat to see going forward? Wife gett motion sickness
