Choo Choo Travels — If it is here, it belongs here.

Chattanooga

Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

The city immortalized by Glenn Miller's 'Chattanooga Choo Choo.' A major Civil War-era rail junction, today it offers nights in restored Pullman sleepers at the 1909 Terminal Station, heritage steam at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, and one of the world's steepest passenger inclines.

Railroad Identity

Historic rail gateway to the South; its Terminal Station and heritage railroads keep the Choo Choo legend alive.

Ride

  • Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum — An operating railroad museum running the Missionary Ridge Local through a Civil War-era tunnel, plus longer excursions, behind steam and vintage diesel power from its Grand Junction depot.
  • Lookout Mountain Incline Railway — Operating since 1895, this incline climbs Lookout Mountain at grades reaching 72.7% — among the steepest passenger railways in the world — with views across the Tennessee Valley.

Stay

  • Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel — The 1909 Terminal Station, saved from demolition and reborn as a hotel complex where guests can book nights in restored Pullman sleeper cars beneath the station's landmark dome.
