Nestled in the mountains of Georgia in the Chattahoochee National Forest, historic Blue Ridge awaits you and your family. Known for friendly folks and old time atmosphere, it's definitely a place to visit. Blue Ridge has been called the "antique capital" of northwest Georgia.
Our regular 4 hour, 26 mile round trip winds along the beautiful Toccoa River for one hour in vintage climate controlled or open air railcars. The relaxing ride starts at the historic depot, built in 1905 in downtown Blue Ridge, then stops for a layover in the quaint sister towns of McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN, one town with two names because it is split by the GA/TN State Line, where visitors have a two hour layover (except 1 1/2 hours on Sunday); plenty of time to eat lunch, shop for unique crafts and antiques, snack on ice cream, visit the Operating Model Railroad display or explore. Then, reboard the train for the 1 hour return trip.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO RIDE THE ENGINE? SEE THE ROUTE FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE? Rides are now available at $100.00 riding the engine one way and coach the other, or round trip at $175.00 - give us a call for details and reservations!
At long last we now have available our guide book entitled Along the Way Blue Ridge Scenic Trip Guide. This booklet is structured like a self-guided tour. It will give you infomation about the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (BRSR) between Blue Ridge, GA and McCaysville, GA/Copperhill, TN and assist you in identifying points of interest! These books can be obtained in our Depot Ticket Office or Gift Shop for $5.00 Be certain to stop in and pick one up before your trip.
Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad is an all-volunteer operated railroad and is looking for additional volunteers to act as car hosts on the excursions. If you like train rides, enjoy beautiful scenery and like meeting people, call 706-632-6853 for VOLUNTEER information. Come to the mountains! Rent a cabin, climb a mountain, hike a trail and ride the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway!
