All trips along the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway begin at the historic depot in downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia, which was built in 1905.

Yummy snacks are available in the concession area on the train.

Enjoy the stunning leaves on two- or four-hour fall foliage trains with the latter offering a two-hour layover at the state line: McCaysville, Georgia, and Copperhill, Tennessee.

We love this 26-mile roundtrip journey of through the wooded countryside that winds along the stunning Toccoa River, witnessing all the vibrant reds and oranges lighting up different parts of Georgia.
