Great photo, thanks. Where in the world is Dead Horse trestle?

It's on private property at a park called Tweetsie Railroad that actually uses live steam on a 3 mile loop. They run it like an actual railroad, and use real narrow gauge equipment. Engine 12 was an origional ET&WNC engine, and they picked up 190 from Whitepass and Yukon.
 
Well, once again, where is this? I would assume North Carolina from your user name, and from the limited knowledge I have of the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina (ET&WNC). I hate to press the obvious point, but other folks accessing this information may not know that.

Sorry, I was tied up in the game before and I forgot to mention it's in Blowing Rock, NC. That's in the North West corner of the state. They put on a railfan weekend every year. When this year's information becomes available I am going to post it.
