ghost train

It's October, and I'm at Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, North Carolina for the Ghost Train! Join me for a spooky walk and talk, plus a bonus interview with Tweetsie's owner, Chris Robbins, whose family has owned and managed Tweetsie since its development in 1957. You'll learn why Tweetsie remains one of the oldest Wild West theme parks in America, how the park's founder acquired the option to buy one of the locomotives from actor/singer Gene Autry, and why there's a (real) graveyard in the middle of the park. Tweetsie has been one of my favorite places to visit since I was a kid, so I'm looking forward to sharing why it's so special. Visit the links here for tickets to Ghost Train and the upcoming Christmas Train. For more footage of Ghost Train and other events at Tweetsie, visit LS Rail & Space on YouTube.
