how do i get to do the cab ride look like fun

[@makaye3259]

Is it hot in there?

[@will2926]

Yeah the temperature was a little warm but not too bad. The cooler temperature outside helps as the train moves. The hottest part was the tunnel.

Does it sell out fast

[@will2926]

Its first come first served. I recommend getting to the TVRM early to ensure you get the tickets for the time you want. They should run cab rides for every Missionary Ridge Local run.

[@makaye3259]

So is the 4501 there for rides every day?

[@will2926]

I would definitely check the website! Right now 4501 is the steam locomotive the TVRM is using. Southern 630 is currently being restored.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

4501 mainly pulls trains on the weekends, although it does sometimes pull trains on select weekdays. However, it pulling trains on weekdays is very rare. It does usually start pulling trains on the last two trains of every Friday.

[@baileyjanssen8911]

Do they only do one cab ride per day

[@will2926]

No, from what I gathered from the TVRM staff they offer the rides every trip. I dont think its advertised as much as the regular tickets. Its a great experience 100% recommended 🚂

[@baileyjanssen8911]

Thank you for the help I’m going there tomorrow it’s my favorite steam train

@@baileyjanssen8911 how was the trip?!

[@baileyjanssen8911]

Awesome thanks for the information I am uploading the video of my trip in a few days

[@will2926]

No. They offer cab ride for most if not all of the steam locomotive Missionary Ridge Local trips

[@baileyjanssen8911]

Does it sell out fast

[@will2926]

The tickets are first come first served. I showed up 30 mins before the TVRM opened, I was the only one present. That being said some days may be more competitive to get the tickets but they are offered on all Missionary Ridge Local trips. The staff was super helpful and made the experience memorable. Definitely a must do!

Do they only do one cab ride a day
