Passengers on the Old Fort Loops! In this aerial view, we see the North Carolina Transportation Museum's "Blue Ridge Special" crossing Mill Creek on a bridge most folks never see.
The engines from 044 sit by theirselves for the time being, as a NCTM crew switches out the cars on the other side of the museum using Southern FP7 #6133.
The North Carolina Transportation Museum's "Blue Ridge Special" is now out of The Loops but still deep in the forest and climbing uphill toward Ridgecrest.
The North Carolina Transportation Museum's "Blue Ridge Special" rolls westbound through the foothills of North Carolina, paralleling nearby Interstate 40 on their respective routes to Asheville.
