On the last weekend in August 2023, we headed to Tweetsie Railroad’s annual heritage weekend. This weekend would be a blast to the past, as to celebrate the 190's 80th birthday, the shop dressed her up in a vintage 1970s look. So join me, as we take it back to the ‘70s at Tweetsie Railroad!
Thanks for watching everyone! I had an amazing time at Tweetsie Railroad’s heritage weekend, and thanks to Tweetsie Railroad and all its employees for keeping this event going, letting the railfans come out and film, and making special stuff happen like the photo runbys and changes to the locomotives.
