Synopses & Reviews
Tweetsie, officially the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC), was the first railroad to cross the Blue Ridge. This history and legend provides a loving look at the mountains and their people. It is a delightful story of the best loved of all the doughty little narrow gauges—Tweetsie—the little engine that could, and still does!
