If you are referring to the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in Bryson City, NC I have ridden it many times. There are different trips depending on what you would like. For a purely scenic ride the Nantahala Gorge trip is nice. If you or your wife likes craft shops the trip to Dillsboro is good. On the Dillsboro trip you will see where they filmed the train wreck in the movie The Fugitive. They still have the engines used for at the crash site. I am not sure if there steam engine is back in service yet so you will probable be pulled by a diesel locomotive. They also have a very large O scale layout and train collection in Bryson City.

The wife and I have been there twice.  2013 we went on the Tuckasegee River Excursion to Dillsboro.  Saw the train wreck from the movie and the wife shopped in Dillsboro. This year we went back and took the Carolina Shine Moonshine trip on the Nantahala Gorge trip. Enjoyed some great moonshine and a lot of great views. It's well worth going.
