We went on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad last week, it was pretty interesting, and my girlfriend thought it was romantic...
the ride starts in Bryson NC, runs up the Nantahala Gorge, then they swap the engines to the other end and you get to see the other side on the way back, about a 4 hour ride.

this is all part of the tva, they drop the water level in the fall to stop spring flooding.
the spring colors were coming on harder on that side of the mountain, which is odd, they usually are a little warmer, with more rain...?
