[4K] Tweetsie Railroad

Learn more at tweetsie.com/
The Tweetsie Railroad operates a narrow gauge steam tourist operation around a Wild West themed amusement park outside of Boone and Blowing Rock, NC. Named for the sound of the whistles echoing in the mountains, the Tweetsie Railroad has been a popular tourist destination as one of the country's oldest theme parks. Two 36" gauge steam engines are the star attractions of the railroad. The engines may be brightly painted in a Southern Crescent style paint scheme, but don't be fooled. With grades of 4% around the mountain, the engines really get a chance to work.
East Tennessee & Western North Carolina 4-6-0 12, aka "Tweetsie," was built by Baldwin in 1917 and operated for the ET&WNC until 1950. The 12 was the locomotive that the Tweetsie Railroad was built around, with the railroad and theme park built around operating the beloved local icon ever since 1957. The 12 is most frequently used for the fall season and special events.
White Pass & Yukon 2-8-2 190, aka "Yukon Queen," was built by Baldwin in 1943. Originally operated in Alaska, the Mikado has been operated at Tweetsie since 1960. The 190 is the typical power for the regular train throughout the summer season and the Ghost Train.
This video was shot during the railroad's annual "Railroad Heritage Weekend" in August 2021. The railroad operated the 190 on the regular train, while 12 led a mixed train special. A photographer special and doubleheader were run as part of the event. It is a must see event for fans of the Tweetsie Railroad.

From what I can see and hear Locomotive 12 is a 4-6-0 class and is wearing either a untuned lunkenheimer or a type of short 5 chime

[@rhondanugent7648]

And I forgot to add the rest of that message, but here it goes. And locomotive 190 is a 2-8-0 class consolidation type locomotive, a basis model for most early freight class steam engines in America, and it's wearing a rather easy to guess whistle, the crosby 3 chime.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

The 190 is a 2-8-2 Mikado

[@justahillbilly7777]

To the OP, 12 has always worn a Baldwin 3 chime, I think ever since its construction way back in 1917.

I hope one day to visit the Tweetsie Railroad with both of these steam locomotives. On going. Such a beautiful steam railroad at a theme park in the state of North Carolina. Very cool. Quite so cool with East Tennessee & Western North Carolina #12 and White Pass & Yukon 190.

What happened to the old closed wooden cars that used to be on the park's railroad?

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

The only two enclosed wooden cars were combine 10 and coach 5. You can see the coach in this video, the combine was retired in 1960 and later went to the North Carolina Transportation Museum.

[@felipe4579]

ah, thank you, but this type of car is needed there

Number 12 is the original “tweetsie”. The original number 12 of 13 and the only one that survived the scrap heap. The other engine no. 190 is called the “Yukon queen”. Number 12 is my favorite for its own history with the RR but I also love that the Yukon queen was made for use during WW2 to help build the Alaska highway. Fun fact that engine 190 was made at the same place and time as dollywoods own narrow gauge engine named “Klondike Katie”. It’s said they were right beside each other in production and also went to the same area for use during the war. An old war train just sounds so amazing to me. But ol’ tweetsie no 12 is what started the whole thing.

[@TrainTableRailroad]

@@DynamoProductions-trains what camera would you recommend below 1600?

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

We recently launched a channel all about cameras, cinematography, editing, audio, and how it applies for railfans. Featured on our channel, the 'Everett Meehling' channel is new, but is specifically designed to help with these sorts of questions. What camera to buy for instance is a lot more complex than knowing what camera your favorite channels use, and we are currently working on a video which aims to help railfans pick the rest best camera. My personal favorite is the Lumix S5, but it's just barely under 1600 for the camera alone when on sale, not including a lens, extra batteries, SD cards that can handle the cameras recording abilities, etc. (Not all SD cards are created equal)
