Tweetsie Railroad Map and Brochure (2025 – 2023)
Built around a looping narrow-gauge railway in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Tweetsie Railroad is less a park and more a living frontier town that rumbles to life with every steam whistle. The compact layout circles through cowboy streets, hillside chairlifts, and tucked-away animal barns—easy to miss without a solid Tweetsie Railroad map in hand.

It’s how guests catch the timing for train departures, gunfight shows, and the chairlift to Miner’s Mountain before the next whistle echoes. The bridge near the depot always bottlenecks—part of the charm, part of the chaos. Feels straight out of an old TV Western, doesn’t it?
