Doe River Gorge: Riding Along the ET&WNC | ET&WNC Historical Society Convention

[@connieduncan9429]

I walked this yesterday. It's amazing !!!!

[@pstnus2]

This is one of the most breathtaking trips I have seen. More breathtaking than the White Pass I would say. It truly is a shame we didn’t see the value of the ET&WNC back then. It truly could have been an amazing line for railfans and outdoor enthusiasts to hitch a ride on today.

I don't know if I'd compare it to the White Pass but the views certainly are spectacular. While it is a shame we lost the ET&WNC at least the best part can still be experienced.

Wow it's amazing that this narrow gauge railroad still exists it would be cool if we had an original ET&WNC tenwheeler to run on this railroad

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

That would be cool!

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@SmokyMtnSteam or at least put an original Tweetsie railroad whistle on the Crown locomotive when it's complete

Great video! I sure enjoyed the ride and am looking forward to bigger things for Doe River Gorge.

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thank you! It will be exciting to watch what develops there over the next few years.

When will 15 return to service? Great video btw!

[@benmerritt9080]

She’s awaiting new flues to be installed.

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks! 15 will return to service as soon as they can get a contractor to come install the new boiler flues, however there is still a lot of trackwork to be done before it can actually haul a train any distance into the gorge. I'm hoping to see it do a test run or maybe a short excursion sometime later this year.
