Seating is extremely limited, if not sold out, for most of the eight excursions. At press time, the best chance to snag seats was either the 8 p.m. outing on Saturday, Feb. 6, or the 7 p.m. outing on Thursday, Feb. 11.

The two-hour excursions from Grand Junction Station, 4119 Cromwell Road, feature a four-course dinner while traveling through portions of urban Chattanooga. Tickets are $160 for the dining car, $170 for the Pullman section. A presidential office car also may be reserved for private parties of up to eight.
