The Dollywood Express at the boarding station. Dollywood Amusement Park. Pidgeon Forge Tennesee. May 1990.

I took this photo during a May 1990 motorcoach vacation to the Hreat Smokey Mountains in the states of Tennesee and North Carolina.

One of the places My tour group visited, was the famous Dollywood Amusement Park in the town of Pidgeon Forge Tennesee. We arrived in the morning not long after the park had opened for the day.

Seen here in the morning shadows alongside a large hill, is the Dollywood Express narrow guage steam train simmering away at the boarding station. The locomotive is a 3 foot guage 2-8-2 coal burning Mikado type from Alaska's White Pass and Ukon Railroad originally.
