Question

Is there an Amtrak from Sacramento,CA to Gaitlinburg, TN? Or somewhere close?

Answer 1

The closest train to Gatlinburg goes to Gastonia, NC, 192 miles away.

No wait - check that... There's a closer one to Clemson, SC at 129 miles, and Greenville, SC at 138 miles.

The Greenville train would be a better choice of those two, because the road from there to Gatlinburg is nearly all Interstate highway, whereas the road from Clemson to Gatlinburg is a twisty, 2-lane mountain road.

Answer 2

Depends upon your definition of the word close.

Amtrack's most direct route from Sacremento, Ca to a city near Gatlinburg, Tn would take you through - Tuscon, Az; through San Antonio, Tx; through and to either Atlanta Ga; or Charlotte , North Carolina.

Neither Atlanta, nor Charlotte are what I would consider close to Gatlinburg. You would still need to rent a car, or some other mode of transportation to and from Gatlinburg, Tn.

Answer 3

Sacramento? Yeah, dude. It's on "I" street as I recall. I've never been to Tennessee so I can't say but I'm in England now. Call anytime.

Answer 4

Maybe to Knoxville TN,if not Charlotte N.C.

Answer 5

Nothing close to Gatlinburg.  By close I am saying 3 hours away.  Go to their website and see the train lines and where they stop.  I think you could get about 3 hours away going to NC and a little farther away in KY (near Cincinnati OH)

FYI the trains are NEVER on schedule!  I took my family on Amtrak once and that is the LAST time.  We got on in WV 3 hours late and arrived in Chicago 5 hours late then after a nice week in Chicago went back to our scheduled train and it was CANCELED!  Next one was in 3 days! ! ! !  Since I had to be back at work I had to rent a car and drive home!  

Also FYI closest airport is in Knoxville and it is about a 30 to 45 minute drive to Gatlinburg from their.
