Experience the history of railroads and their importance to the mountain region by visiting the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia which features more than 50 exhibits on Virginia's rich railway heritage. Farther south on the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina’s oldest theme park, Tweetsie Railroad, transports you to the Wild West during an action-packed ride on a vintage steam locomotive, while The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in Bryson City, NC offers leisurely excursions on its exclusive railroad line through a remote corner of Western North Carolina.
