Join us for a truly unforgettable evening as we roll through the scenic heart of Chattanooga aboard our annual Evening Ridge Runner train ride. This isn’t just a ride — it’s a journey through history. As the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll be surrounded by the warm glow of twilight while relaxing in authentic 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s passenger cars, pulled by one of our vintage locomotives.
Your experience includes a passage through the pre-Civil War era Missionary Ridge Tunnel, as well as scenic bridge crossings that offer breathtaking views of Chattanooga’s beautiful landscape. Once we arrive at the East Chattanooga Depot, you’ll enjoy a fascinating turntable demonstration, showcasing the historic technology that once kept the railroads running on time.
This one-hour ride is perfect for a cozy evening out — whether you’re a history buff, a train enthusiast, or just looking for a unique and relaxing way to enjoy the city.
