Mapped location of Ride The Rails ~ Tri State Model Railroaders

Overview

There's fun to be had on this 5-mile round-trip ride by Railroad Motor Car traveling through the Iron Bridge over the beautiful Toccoa River to Murphy Junction and returning over the bridge back to the Historic Mineral Bluff Depot. Then, take a short ride on the genuine Railroad Hand Car. Special for children - ride the miniature 7½ gauge hand car for free!

Also, visit inside the Depot to view the large “HO Scale” model railroad based on the L&N Railroad’s “Old Line” from Atlanta, GA, to Etowah, TN, and the branch line through Mineral Bluff to Murphy, North Carolina.
