Abstract:
There is much speculation concerning the origination of the colloquial name ‘Tweetsie,’ the narrow 16-gauge train that runs on a three-mile track between Boone and Blowing Rock. Some historians believe the name came from mountaineers whose homes flanked the tracks; the train whistle was much shriller than other trains of the day.
