Mike, I don't have an answer. DRG seems to be fairly open-minded, and I'm pretty sure NARCOA, or someone, has been to Tweetsie.
I lost my contact at Dollywood, but I highly doubt they would let anyone near the place. Too many lawyers.
I'm in the process of leaving Gatlinburg (semi-permanent retirement from injury), and heading to Chama for some time, and that's what spurred my interest.
I've been riding the Dollywood Express since it was the Ore Bank RR (Goldrush Junction), 1961-ish.
