The start of our 2nd Annual Fall Meet is tomorrow Thursday, October 19th
The time has finally come for our 2022 Fall Meet and look forward to seeing everyone. We have received word from groups from Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia that they will be making their way to the railroad for our event. For those that are wondering this is private event and is NOT part of our regular public run day events. All locomotive types are welcome and for those with steam engines we only require a hydrostatic test that is less than 12 months old to operate on the railroad. Hydro tests will be available during the meet.
Upon arrival a few things to note. We will have a “Blue” tent setup at the entrance to the property and members from NGLS will greet you and provide you some direction on answer any questions you may have upon arrival. For anyone traveling in and out of the property Saturday morning please note that a high school cross country meet is taking place next to our property, so you’ll see a lot of school buses in the parking lot adjacent to our property as you get close to our entrance. The entrance to our property will towards the end of the line of school buses and note that our entrance is directly across the street from Hawthorn Suites. Often a police officer is stationed at or near the driveway entrance and will direct you towards our gate entrance.
We look forward to meeting everyone and if you don’t mind let us know you are coming by using the Registration button below.
