I was lucky one year to be hiking through the area associated with this railroad one summer. I had gotten into the Nantahala Outdoor Center from the Appalachian Trail and applied for a job. Fortunately, no openings existed, so I decided to follow the railroad from there into Bryson City on foot. It was a pretty neat operation back in the 90's, and the link above gives some history and a chart of the different locomotives and rail gauge used through the years.
