Went to Tweetsie RR in Blowing Rock NC on Oct 13 th to ride the ghost train. Had a lot of fun with my daughter and wife. If you have young kids and can go - I recommend going. For me -it was only a 90 minute ride to get there. The train ride and other Entertainment was worth seeing my daughter having a good time as well as mom n dad too. THe train goes through a real ring of fire before and after trestle. THe train ride is dark as there are no lights and the cars are all open air. If you do go dress warmly as you are in the Blue Ridge Mtns of NC and elevation is around 4,000 feet above sea level. Over 200 employees in the park dressed up for the occasion including the engineer - Casey Bones.

Tony - it was actually a super bright flash off another camera up track which made my picture better. Thank You - The photo is actual and no editing was done to clarity
