Train, Anyone?

I haven't looked at the map, but I'm hoping the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum is somewhere between Hillsboro and Nashville. Wouldn't it be cool to take the Secret City Scenic Excursion Train? Trains are pulled by 1950's vintage Alco diesel locomotives. Seating is in an air-conditioned coach and a dining car, both restored from the 1940's era of passenger railroading. An open-air concession car has souvenirs and snacks for sale. Trip is about an hour.
