Hey guys, it's your tour guide Jacob!! So happy I found this video and it was extremely well done, so glad y'all had a fun time on board Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.
Thank you! We had a blast, Jacob! Have a great holiday! 😊
6:43 I took this train a couple years ago and was told that the house was built after the civil war by two confederate soldiers. one of the best motorcycle trips !
Loved the bloopers!!!!!!!
We don't have a trailer but choose to boat in the Florida /Bahamas area. Have been watching your videos for two years, enjoying them, and learning a lot. In summary, Tara is like the sweet frosting on the cake and Chad provides the recipe...the perfect couple. Thanks for enlightening all of us.
Great video guys! Love the bloopers 😆
You and your vids continue to impress. This is a great one and I shared a link on FB.
I would like to visit the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad along with seeing their GSMRR 1702 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in September 1942).
We love CJ's! We always get the pizza and take it down to Nantahala Brewing Company. Love Bryson City. Hope to make it for a visit in the spring.
train ride looks awesome!
I was born and raised in Bryson and now live in Haywood County. You guys did a great job with the telling of the story of the train. Thanks neighbor 👍
Born and raised in Haywood County and live here still. First 30 years of my life were spent on Fontana all summer and my brother still has a boathouse at Alarka. My family's boathouse was at Alarka right under where they were before they cut away to the picture of the dam. Best place in the world to be as a kid and young adult! I love it still.
Did polar express. It a great experience. Well worth it.
The out takes really show how hard it is to produce the videos and do the narration. Daisy was so cute when Chad did the train whistle!
Hey guys thanks for the memorie's. My wife grew up in Bryson City, me in Sylva. We used to ride innertubes down the Nantahala river. Her family was dispaced by both the flooding of the lake (Fontana) and also by the Great Smoky Mtn NP (Deepcreek)
We love Bryson City and visit there every time we are up at our property in Franklin. We took this train ride last April for our 26 wedding anniversary. We were so happy that we purchased the blanket because while riding, it was COLD! Beautiful though.
Hahaha 8p ... "you had chicken..."
Great video, and the out takes well! Thanks for the tips, that will be a must-see for us soon!
Ya know after seeing those outtakes I'm not sure if you guys make these videos for us or just to you guys can have some fun. Looks like a neat train ride. Don't really care why you make them, just keep the goods stuff coming.
We have done Thanksmas for the past 3 years as we call it. We celebrate thanksgiving on Thurs and Christmas on Friday. We love it. Our kids and grandkids can do there own traditions on Christmas with their partner’s family, and we head to warmer
weather early.
This was so awesome that I watched it twice!! And will probably watch it again!!! Thanks Chad and Tara.
I grew up in SC and did kudzu eradication as a summer job with US Forestry. We had a saying, don't stand in one place too long during your lunch break or the kudzu will swallow you up.
We have been on that same ride. 30 yrs ago. We loved it. thanks for bringing some of my memories back. !
My favorite part of Changing Lanes project 😊 those cool trip videos 👍👍👍, thanks Tara&Chad.
If you guys love trains as we do. Take the Chattanooga TN to Summerville, GA excursion. Steam Engine pulled. It's about 10 to 12 hours round trip but it is Awesome !! Go 1st class and you get the excellent food in the dining car and hang out in the very roomie lounge car. It was AWESOME !! BTW, the breakfast and lunch was Awesome too !.
Thanks guys I appreciate you taking the time to show use your trips obviously. Money has been tight and traveling for me is not possible hope you had great holiday s
We went a few years ago and our train broke down at Nantahala. We always joke that if it will happen, it will be us. Our ride turned into 8 1/2 hrs. The plus side was we were able to have a sit down lunch. 😊
Great video about your train experience. Interesting you mention the wildfires, we think we drove through that area when it was happening! We didn't know what it was. . . . . . That is so cute that the polar express train people come dressed in their pj's. 🌲 - Michelle
Wow, you really did get lucky with that beautiful weather! Gorgeous views, looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing! 🌻
Loved the train ride and Fontaine Dam is were they filmed the Fugitive when Harrison Ford jumped. There is another Smokey Mountain train out of Chattanooga too. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the relaxing train excursion around the lake, education on the area, train itself, etc. The Polar Express experience seems to be something thrilling to plan for, in the future. We took the Williams Az. steam / diesel train, they even reenacted a train robbery by actors, riding horses.
Some friends of ours did that also and loved it!
Thanks for this video. When we come back to the Smokys this is definitely going to be on our to do list!
We came through all the smoke on the way back to the outer banks from Branson in the motorhome. Fire was burning right next to the interstate. So sad to see. Can't imagine, as a fire fighter paramedic, how difficult fighting that fire was. We have yet to stop in Bryson City but it is on the list for sure. Merry Christmas y'all!
Thanks for the great video and taking us along on your journey.. Love the train ride it was beautiful to see all.. PS at the beginning of your video the farmall tractor H , my parents had one and I took it and restored it!! Sold it back in 2008 so do miss seeing it. Thanks again. 😊
We have visited Steam locomotive railroads many times! I worked on the railroad for a short time. It did not take long to realize that liking the railroads and building railroads are tow very different items.
What a fun train ride! Our family girl trip was to Maggie Valley and we chose to take the train ride. Sorry that the steam engine was not available when we went. There were about 20 of us in the coach car. Have you ever been to a steam engine show? The Amish go alot. My uncle built small steam engines and founded a club in FL for enthusiasts. Thanks for sharing!!
Great video, guys. That looks like ya'll made the right choices all the way around. The right day, right train, right car, and most importantly, the absolute best either day.
I would tend to agree on the open cars, nice weather, great. Cold, wet weather, not so much. I guess Tara had the right idea, carry a blanket and wrap up. Although cold, wrapped up, make it very difficult to enjoy the scenery .
Glad ya'll had a nice Thanksgiving with the family.
God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels to these beautiful trips.
I love the Smoky Mountains. The only train ride I was on was in Dollywood. It was great. I appreciate you sharing your ride. Stunning views! You guys are great tour guides! 💛
OMG, look at those Kudzu infestation.
Tbh, in my place there's none of it. So I think lightly when I hear about Kudzu infestation in some place.
So this is what they mean about Kudzu infestation, indeed scary stuff. It's virtually will cover anything.
Wow! Thanks for that video! Another addition to the bucket list when we head East from the PNW.
You guys do such a professional job with the shooting, editing and music/narrative combo, it’s a pleasure to watch. Happy holidays!
Amazing scenery from a train perspective. It looked to be a perfect day and timing for color change could not of been better. Have a great day.
It's great little town have been on train it was great would like raft on the river, awesome video.
The train ride looked really cool. This video had some interesting dam information. 😂😂
Hello, the national park is beautiful. A very impressive and interesting area. A subscription for you. Best regards 😊👍
I love this video ..there are some places that I might never get to and so I absolutely appreciate you ..Chad and Tara ...for your generousity in sharing your travels
HAPPY HOLIDAYS 💕🎄
Thanks for sharing ! Awesome video. We are going to do this next year when we head to the Smokey’s.
Book early! 😊
Great video! We really enjoyed riding along with you two. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Excellent video. You guys did a great job with the footage! Looks truly professional!
Great video. Enjoy the holidays. We camped at Cherokee for 3 yrs in a row and did the other ride to dillsboro and back. Had a great time. Now i want to go back and do the one u did.
Great video enjoyed the tour.
Have a Great Holiday Season 🌲
We did the polar express train last year and it was beautiful
Great video, but the outtakes were the best!😂
Great day, awesome fall foliage. Your videos are so much more than RVing. The adventures whether train. Motorcycle, helicopter, campgrounds or walking are giving us knowledge of places to go as well plus extras like all the car options. We stayed east in Maggie Valley, NC for our group motorcycle ride week (summer 2021). Road thru Bryson on the way to Fontana dam. Then followed the river down stream of the dam on 28 over to the Dragon (129). Great riding country too.
Thank you for sharing. I didn't know this was around ❤
Thanks for sharing this experience.
Great video as always. Love the outtakes. But Chad, I think you let the cat out of the bag when you said glitter and strip club in the same sentence. Are we talking from experience? LOL !!!!
I think I read about that somewhere... 🤔
We are planning to add GSMRR to our next trip north. We have done several on Seminole Gulf Railway Murder Mystery Dinner Train. Like you video's still going back to pick up the ones we missed.
0:54 I just fell in love.
We did that a couple years ago and will definitely do it again if we are in the area.
loved this video
Wow. Awesome video. Thank you
I was waiting for y'all to run into the Perkins Builder Brothers! 😂 (GREAT channel to watch, btw)
Just looked them up. Looks like a great channel! 👍🏼
Nice job
What a Fantastic job you guys did, My wife and I have been on that same route, but your work made it look like a big screen movie production ! Wow made us want to go back up there. PS There is a book series “Bryson City Tales” Dr Walter Larimore . Good read. You all deliver wonderful videos, thanks for your work.
If you like steam trains go to Cass Railroad in West Virginia.
Very nice! I would recommend if you are going on the polar express get you tickets early. As they are already sold out for this year.
Very cool we gotta check that out. Have you been to Strasburg railroad near Lancaster PA?
Ride the train. Go to the toy train museum. Go to the Choo Choo barn a full scale model rail road. And. The PA train museum across the street from the railroad.
We went on the Moonshine Train and went the same route that you went. It was a lot of fun and we had lunch on it. Was that available when you guys went on it? We enjoy your channel. Pet Daisy for us.
They offer that, but there were only 9am trips available.. We're not ready for moonshine that early! LOL
Yall don't do the motorcycle stuff no more from what ive seen, but then again i havt seen every episode. In the chanel icon you show the bike.
I'm setting up to start traveling on my bike and maybe one fay start trailer it.
We had motorcycle riding in our last video: changinglanesrv.com/pineola-nc-part-1/ 👍🏼
Any nice rv sites near Bryson for a 40’ mh?
Yes! Check out Tuckasegee RV Park! We show it in this video: ruclips.net/video/W3byVr5xda8/видео.html
10:38 Sketchy rusted bridges, did you know this beforehand? I would be scared.
19:28 Dirty floor
Not sure about the trestle, but I'm sure it's inspected regularly. On the dirty floor.. It's an open-air train car in the middle of fall. There's no way for it to NOT have leaves on the floor.
