GROUP TRAIN TOURS ON THE MISSIONARY RIDGE LOCAL IN CHATTANOOGA

All Aboard with Burke Christian Tours: A Group Ride on the Missionary Ridge Local

The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum recently welcomed Burke Christian Tours for a group ride aboard the Missionary Ridge Local. This experience offered their guests a relaxed, engaging introduction to railroading in Chattanooga, combining live narration, historic infrastructure, and a comfortably paced schedule well suited for group itineraries.

The Missionary Ridge Local is especially popular with tour groups thanks to its short duration, all-ages appeal, and behind-the-scenes elements—including passage through a pre–Civil War tunnel and a live turntable demonstration. These features make it easy for groups to enjoy a meaningful experience without committing a full day.

TVRM regularly works with tour operators, churches, schools, and organizations to create customized group train rides that fit a wide range of schedules and interests. Whether you’re planning a brief stop as part of a larger tour or a standalone group outing, our team can help tailor the experience to your needs.
