After pulling the Great Smoky Mountains Railway tourist train west from Bryson City to the Nantahala Outdoor Center, GSMR 1702, a 2-8-0 Consolidation, is now headed back east as two diesels pull the train back to Bryson City. As the train leaves the center, people begin to cross the track and head to the river for swimming, white water rafter, fishing, shopping or to get something to eat in this scenic mountain area in western North Carolina.
