Vintage Tweetsie & Rebel RR film on YouTube
I spotted 190 on the clip too. The taped spiel on the train ride at Tweetsie says that the 190 was "brought here in 1960". David

If they don't have trains, I don't wanna go
We took my niece to Carowinds about 8 or 10 years ago. I discovered then that they didn't have their train anymore and Carowinds has ever since been a 'no go' zone for me. David
