- Tag along with my Dad and me as we explore Tennessee's Hiwassee River Gorge with unique and amazing perspectives from a dome railroad car! We'll traverse an engineering marvel, the famous Hiwassee Loop - the only such railroad loop east of the Mississippi River. Don't miss our stop at a WILD roadside attraction, Groovy Zoo Metal Yard Art in Mineral Ridge, Georgia! And we'll make some friends along the way...a lifelong railroad man, a couple of European transplants, and some old-school Mennonite farmers. It's quite the adventure! Glad to have you along for the ride.
I'm Scott. I explore, review and rate bike trails on this channel...and hopefully find a little joy in the journey. Thanks for watching!

So I was in a hurry editing this one...and mistakes were made! It's Mineral Bluff, Georgia, NOT Mineral Ridge...and this train is part of the Tennessee Valley Railroad, NOT the Chattanooga Valley Railroad. OK? We good? Good! 😬
Shared humor, shared knowledge, shared beauty, shared adventure, nothing left wanting.
Thank you 🙂
Love that you and your dad are still making memories. Look forward to the next one!
As usual very entertaining. The only thing better than a bike ride in the country, is a train ride. Happy Birthday to you both.
May the Lord continue to bless you.
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it. Blessings to you as well.
Your have an great Dad! 88 is a good number 👍 I like how you put this video together. Awesome train ride! 👍😎
Thank you very much!
Thanks for another great vid! I have been saying Hiwassee wrong for about 30 plus years. Maybe it's a southern thing but I've always said and heard it pronounced HiAH-WASSEE 😂
I'm 64 years old and the changes of the past 4 years personally and in society are making me so nostalgic and craving the simple things and pleasures in life. Your channel helps me fill that void. Keep it up!!
Well, there is also a city named HIAWASSEE, Georgia that we passed thru on our drive. So maybe that's what you were referring to! Thanks for the kind words about the channel. I appreciate it. :)
Oh and I enjoyed the train footage… Beautiful country. My wife and I took two train rides out west from Northern New Mexico to Southern Colorado on the old narrow gage railways. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks! Oh man, I would love to ride those trains out west! The problem would be getting there and back. If you don’t have money on hand to fly, it’s a pretty long drive from South Carolina. 😬
We had a great time riding this train in your company! And watching this video afterwards gave us additional information we didn’t know, too. The couple from Europe.
Awesome! Thanks for being part of the video…and the train ride, of course.
Beautiful video on a 4K TV. Love your dad, he’s spry for 88. 👍🏻
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Loved the train ride and you and your Dad are adorable! Train ride might be a 3 but this special video with your Dad is off the chart!
Thank you so much!
Love seeing these train videos, they are my favorite
Awesome, thank you. We’ve got another one coming soon. 🙂
Happy Birthday Mr Bachman! I pray im as active at 88 as you are. Other than Jesus, what's your secret?
Love all of your rail videos Scott. Thanks for another great video.
One of his secrets is that he never stops talking 😂
@@joyfultrails well then, I should live to be well into my 90's! Having 3 generations on my Dad's side to live to or past 92 gives me a great start.
Seriously, my parents are 92 and 87 (in September)....I pray that I am active and going like your dad when I'm his age.
We enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you put in. So love watching you and your dad. Happy Belated to Fred!
Thanks, I will pass along…
Superb father and son, and a superb trip!
Thanks!
Happy Birthday to your Dad! Such a great video! We lived near the Delano area for about a year and attended church at Crossroads Baptist Church in Delano. It is beautiful but quite desolate there for sure. We now live in Chattanooga about an hour away. All your episodes are great but it was especially fun watching an episode that was filmed close to our home. Happy July 4th to you both🇺🇸
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Happy Birthday to your DAD 🙂💫🎂.. love the way you to Bond.. Great Relationship.. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on a Great Train Ride..
Thanks, man!
Thanks for sharing the video. I’ve never ridden that one. Yard art was unique. Hope to go there soon. Maybe even ride the train one day. Keep filming, hope you reach a million plus subscribers one day. Wish your Dad would get himself a trike and ride the bike trails with you. Y’all make a great team.
Thanks! Always good to hear from you.
Let me be the first to say Happy 88 Mr Bachman !
I will pass that along!
How did you get those shots from the top of the train car?
Not many people know this, but I am an action and adventure movie star. So I opened the window and climbed out on top of the train like Indiana Jones. 😂 Ha ha… No, there were windows, since we were in what they called the globe car, there were windows that I could shoot through, that overlooked the train. I wish they would clean the windows better. They were pretty dirty!
With all the talk about certain politician's age issue, i keep saying it is not the age, it is the mental and physical condition and your pop is a perfect example of being an active/health person into your late 80's and even 90's, living a great life.
Hey, that’s a good point! I’ll pass that along. 🙂
