Tweetsie Railroad has announced they will be closing, again, including for special events.
In a statement the company stated, “Tweetsie Railroad has received notification from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services that we are not permitted to run the train. Thus, we have no choice but to close the park and cancel upcoming special events, including K-9s in Flight, Railroad Heritage Weekend, and Ghost Train. When parks like ours are cleared to open in North Carolina, we will reevaluate the possibility of welcoming guests back to Tweetsie Railroad and hosting Tweetsie Christmas.”
The attraction announced earlier this year the postponement of Opening Day. The park had opened back up on Friday, July 17, with limited weekend operations.
