Tweetsie 12: Blue Ridge Sunset | ET&WNC Historical Society Convention
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Over Memorial Day weekend 2022, the ET&WNC Historical Society hosted their 32nd Annual Convention at the Carnegie Hotel in Johnson City, Tennessee. One of the highlights of the event was a Saturday evening excursion to Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, NC to partake in an evening photo special behind engine 12, the last survivor of the ET&WNC narrow gauge. As a special treat, the engine crew coupled former East Broad Top coach 5 at the front of the consist, making this the first six-car train to run at Tweetsie in many years. Departing just as the park closed, the special did two runbys at the Frontier Outpost and then again at Deadhorse Trestle before completing three full circuits around the mountain. The train ride would be followed by a dinner at the Tweetsie Palace Saloon and a slideshow presentation on the early years of the park lasting well into the night. Everyone who attended had a wonderful time, and I am looking forward to next year's convention. Huge thanks to the train crew and the convention organizers for putting on such a great show.

Thank you so much for posting your awesome video. It was a wonderful event.
Awesome job buddy!
Thanks Steve!
I loved how tweetsie #12 bell was spinning around I loved those parts! It was just so cool!
It got stuck so he yanked it as hard as he could 🤣
Oh I get it! 😂🤣
Wow! I’m so jealous!!! I love the frontier outpost footage! I never thought I’d see a day that 12 pulls a 6 car train 😂. I wish they did that on heritage weekend, amazing video! 👍
Maybe they will sometime, it would be cool to have an extra car on the doubleheader.
Reading this comment after heritage weekend…
You got your wish

Great footage. Wish I coulda made it. Really neat to see they added coach 5 to the consist for the runbys
Thanks! It was a really cool event, sorry you had to miss it.
Tweetsie #12 whistle man, that's what's cool about it too! Her whistle just never gets odd and I just enjoy listening to it everytime!
The engine can consider herself my steamy sister. I love her.
What camera do you use
I normally use a Sony AX-100 on a tripod but this video was shot handheld with an AX-53.
@@SmokyMtnSteam I hope I get to meet you Railfanning sometime
Tweetsie Railroad will be 65 years old this year
Did anyone else see that bell spin in the parts of the video? I saw that.
I really have to go here someday. I feel like it would be easier to film trains because when I go to dollywood your tempted to ride rides!
You should! Heritage Weekend especially is one of my favorite events every year, just tons of fun.
@@SmokyMtnSteam I bet it is! Only if I could get a chance to go. I've been to the GSMR so I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem to get to Blowing Rock from there
