Missionary Ridge Local trips begin at the Grand Junction Station and take passengers along one of the original railroad lines in Chattanooga, crossing four bridges and passing through pre-Civil War Missionary Ridge Tunnel, which was completed in 1858. The train stops at East Chattanooga, allowing riders to see the locomotive rotating on a turntable and participate in a tour into the railroad restoration shop before re-boarding… Show more for the return trip. Round trip time is slightly less than an hour. The term Local refers to short line trains that were at one time a lifeline to the world from small towns around the nation. As the train rolls to a stop with the ground rumbling under your feet you feel mounting anticipation. The conductor calls the long awaited signal: All Aboard! Excitement builds as passengers scurry to their seats. This was a regular occurrence 100 years ago as it is today! Buy Tickets at Chattanooga Grand Junction - No Reservations Necessary!
