Our Family Trip on the Polar Express - Bryson City, NC
My family absolutely LOVES the Polar Express Book and Movie. We just so happen to live in a close proximity to a Real Life version located in Bryson City, North Carolina, put on by the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad!
I surprised my wife and kids with tickets for all of us to ride! If you ever wondered what the Polar Express is like, look no further. Look for my synopsis of the trip on soon. To book your trip, go to
Lots of questions about what the benefit of First Class is, one of the BIGGEST is, not only do you get a booth that has goodies at your table (petit fours, gingerbread cookies and more), but even though every train car gets hot chocolate, you get to KEEP your Ceramic Mug (ours looked like this:

Late New Years Special: The GSMR Polar Express Train in Bryson City, NC 12-30-2015
(Taken 12/30/15) Happy New Year! My first video in a while. My computer with my videos and editing software is broken, so there have not been any uploads for a while. I'm using another computer and don't have editing software right now, so this video is unedited. This was taken during a family trip to North Carolina. Unfortunately, I was not able to record the train ride, but I hope you enjoy this video anyway.
GSMR 1755 EMD GP9
There were other locomotives in the back that I did not get the numbers of.

The Polar Express on the V&T Railroad
Set to THE POLAR EXPRESS motion picture soundtrack, pajama-clad children can relive the magical story as families are whisked away for an unforgettable ride to the North Pole on the alluring historical Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Departing from Carson City, the Conductor will punch tickets and chefs will serve hot chocolate, followed by a reading of Van Allsburg’s classic. At the North Pole, Santa will step aboard and greet the children and just like in the story each child will receive a keepsake silver bell. Tickets sell out nearly every year, so be sure to get your hands on some for the whole family before it's too late!
Great Smoky Mountains 1702: Thunder in the Mountains
In July of 2018 Great Smoky Mountains Railroad engine 1702 was once again thundering through the heart of the Blue Ridge on excursions out of Bryson City, North Carolina. Filmed on the 20th and 26th of the month, this video follows the 76 year old S160 along the Tuckasegee River, through the mountain farmland of the Thomas Valley, across the high trestle over Fontana Lake, and then into the depths of the steep Nantahala Gorge, where the Sun only reaches the bottom at midday.
Road Up to Southern Comfort Bryson City, NC
This is the road up to the Southern Comfort Bryson City Cabin Rentals. I was able to make this with my 2014 Honda Accord. You have to go fast up the switch backs and don't slow down until you top each one. This road is best traversed with 4wd but we did not have that. In good weather it would be easy for most but not sure about bad weather such as rain or snow...I think I would have been hard pressed. So, rent this cabin but beware the ride up!!! However, you cannot beat the view, amenities, and privacy of this cabin!!!
