Adventure through the Etowah River Mine Tunnel
Jason, Rachael, Karlie and I went on a Living the Dream kayaking trip on the Etowah River on Memorial Day Weekend 2011. What is unique about this river, is getting the chance to paddle through the Etowah River Mine Tunnel which is about a 1/4 mile long. This tunnel was used to divert the river during the first gold rush that hit the United States. Given the fact the walls of the tunnel are approximately 7 ft wide, one tiny error could leave you swimming throughout the rest of the journey.

In this video we take a ride on the largest operating railroad museum in the Southeastern United States, The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, from the East Chattanooga Depot/Soule Shops and show the entire length of the ride including Missionary Ridge Tunnel and other sights on long the line.
Former Southern Railway 2-8-0 number 630, built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in their Richmond, Virginia works in 1904 does the honors of pulling the Missionary Ridge Local on this day.
Of note in this video is former Central of Georgia 4-4-0 number 349 on a side track at the East Chattanooga yard. The locomotive was undergoing the final stages of it's cosmetic restoration before being donated to Erlanger Hospital's new Children's Hospital where it is now on permanent display.
This would be the last time I would see the 349 on TVRM property and I was sad to see her go, but at least where it is now the children will enjoy it while they are in the process of healing.
If you want to ride behind this train or do one of TVRM's other great train rides or events visit their website at tvrail.com.
