The train attracted tourists to the world's smallest interstate railroad, but the completion of I-77 in 1976 with tunnels through East River and Big Walker Mountains, took traffic away from old U.S. Route 21-52. The Ridge Runner has found a new home at the Bluefield City Park (Lotito Park), Bluefield, WV. Cost per person: $1.00.
