Blue Ridge Scenic Railway

     Nestled in the North Georgia mountains of Georgia in the Chattahoochee National Forest, historic Blue Ridge awaits you and
     your family. Known for friendly folks and old time atmosphere, it's definitely a place to visit. Blue Ridge has been called the
     "antique capital" of north west Georgia. Rent a cabin, climb a mountain, hike a trail and ride the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.

     The train route consists of a 26-mile round trip through historic Murphy Junction and along the beautiful Toccoa River. This
     railroad was built over 100 years ago and is the only mainline railroad excursion service based in Georgia.

    Each trip begins at the depot in Blue Ridge, Georgia and includes a stop in McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee.
    This stop permits passengers to disembark and have an hour and one half layover, allowing time to have lunch, do some
    shopping, or just explore the two cities. (Sunday's layovers are only 1 hour.)

    Each round trip takes approximately 3 hours.

    The last passenger train to operate over this line was a one-time special trip that ran in the 1960's.  The route was originally
    built as the narrow-gauge Marietta & North Georgia Railroad. Construction  began in Marietta in 1877 and reached Blue Ridge
    in 1886.

    The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway ticket office was originally the L & N Railroad Depot built in 1905. The Blue Ridge Scenic
    Railway was placed in the  Historical Register in 1983. The depot is located at 241 Depot Street in the heart of downtown
    Blue Ridge, Georgia.
