On Dec. 28, Bryson, N.C.-based Great Smoky Mountain Railroad will fly in the economic development directors from both towns, along with Worcester County Economic Development Director Mary Mears and Berlin Town Administrator Laura Allen, for a three-day tour of its facilities.
Berlin Economic and Development Director Ivy Wells promised that 2016 would be “the year of the excursion train” in her town.
“I specifically want to see what the economic impact is in the neighboring towns, Bryson City and Ashville,” she said. “It’s on their dime and we’re really interested to talk to the people there.”

This is a great idea to expand our tourist spots. Adds something beyond our water based attractions. What kid doesn't love to ride a train?
what are they going to look at while riding the train? trailer parks, woods and ghettos?
Most of the jewish ones in Poland.
Safari train, see how the "other 5%" lives, from the safety and relative comfort of your seat!
