One of the most unique and special experiences you can get with TVRM is an excursion in their historic Pullman dining car, still outfitted with its original 1920's decor. Guests are served a three-course meal prepared right on the train in the kitchens.
There are two dining cars on the TVRM dining excursions, including this second car, another 1920's Pullman dining car outfitted with open seating tables. You can choose which car you want to sit in when you make your booking.
The dining excursions last two hours and go out and back from the TVRM depot in Chattanooga. When you're not eating, you'll be able to enjoy some of the most stunning views in Tennessee.
