Re: Tweetsie Railroad Heritage Weekend 2021

In addition to the track being laid back into the gorge for the now defunct Hillbilly Express, ET&WNC caboose #505 is on diaplay at a depot museum in Avery County. The attached newspaper article has nine photos of the caboose (past and in 2017). The caboose restoration has progressed a lot since the 2017 photos.

The Doe River Gorge Ministries operated a camp that includes the Gorge and the railroad remnant. They operate trains into the gorge for camp outdoor activities and also limited public operating days. Here is a link with photos and information about the railroad:
