The Fugitive movie caboose, walk to downtown

This is the actual caboose from the Harrison Ford train wreck in The Fugitive. P&WV #839 rode the rails, starred in a blockbuster, and now you can sleep in it. Downtown Bryson City is less than a 10-minute walk: restaurants, breweries, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. Four twin bunks, a full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a private deck. Park when you arrive and walk to everything. During the holidays you're steps from the Polar Express. On a lucky night, you'll hear rain on the metal roof.
