When you climb aboard for the 55-minute Chattanooga Tennessee Valley Railroad Train Ride, you will learn about the area and get some of the best sightseeing in it!

These amazing trips take passengers along one of the original railroad lines into Chattanooga, crossing bridges and diving through the Missionary Ridge Tunnel, a tunnel that was created in Civil War times, before arriving at the other side of the museum: East Chattanooga.  The train stops at East Chattanooga, allowing riders off the train to watch the locomotive rotating on a turntable and participate in a tour of the railroad restoration shop before re-boarding for the return trip. Round trip time is slightly less than one hour - a great introductory train ride for kids.

• Missionary Ridge Tunnel

Each of these sites is important to Chattanooga history, so while you kick back and enjoy a fun ride, you'll also be learning about the area and its past along the way. Whether you attend the Diesel Train Ride or take the Steam Train Ride, you and your loved ones are sure to have a blast!
