Looking for something different and exciting to do in Tennessee? Two Summer's ago I had an exciting and very remember-able experience when I took a ride on the "Missionary Ridge Local" Train ride. This Train ride is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It lasted about an hour round trip and only cost around $20.00 per person. Seeing the secluded back country and small towns was like going back in time. I loved it and I'm sure you will too. You might want to try these other train rides that are not to far from home.

I love the picture of the train *choo choo*. Tennesse is about 8 hours away from Louisiana. I went years ago when I was a child. Looks like I should back my bags and plan a get away!

P.S.- I love trains. "The Engine That Could"...SO my favorite book lol

Christina, I grew up around trains and still love them to this day. There are so many wonderful places around the country where you can still take a ride and my favorite is in North Conway NH. Thanks for the post.

Christina - What a wonderful way to enjoy all the gorgeous scenery around you!  I would love to take a train ride like that.  I'd love for my girls to ride a train, too.  I took a week long journey on Amtrack years ago . . .which was really a lot of fun.

That photo is so cool! It's incredible! My mother-in-law likes to take the train when she travels. She likes to meet people and relax and not be in a hurry.

I am going to see if my hubby will take me on a train ride.  This looks neat!  Never done this either!
