Notes for Division Meetings

Division Special Event - June 14 - Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Private Railcar Excursion

bullet

We have made arrangements for up to 42 of us (spouses and guests included) to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in a private car from Dillsboro to Bryson City and return. This event requires advance reservations and advance payment.

bullet

Because of the special nature of this event, only persons 21 years old or older can participate.

bullet

Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from Dillsboro.

bullet

The train departs at 1 pm, so you must plan to arrive at the depot by 12 pm (noon).

bullet

The GSMR website lists driving time from Charlotte as 3 hours 15 minutes. They also give detailed driving directions. Note that our train departs from Dillsboro (not Bryson City).

bullet

More details about our excursion are on this flyer and the advance reservation form is here.
