The dismantling of the DMTRR Railways (circa 1998)
Sometime around 1998 the Southern Railway Museum sold its property and moved to a new home. With the move North Georgia Live Steamers packed up the Duluth & Mount Tabor Railways and prepared to build out a new railroad on Conyers, Georgia. Here are some pictures of the DMTRR being dismantled.
The railroad was eventually dismantled around 1998 after the museum sold the property and moved to a new location. This began the search for a new home for a new railroad. Today North Georgia Live Steamers operates at a new home in Conyers, which is 30 miles east of Atlanta, at the Georgia International Horse Park. Construction began on the new railroad, the Conyers & Hightower Trail Railroad, in 2010 and today has around 2 miles of track on the track with more than 30 acres of land to grow into. Here are some pictures after the track panels where pulled up off the road bed.
