Last workday of 2024 is in the books

The last official workday of 2024 is now in the books ending with more progress on the “Grandma Line” and repair of a leak with the gray container extension. The crew working on the “Grandma Line” consisted of John T., Wes, Norm, and Robby. Together they finished nearly 70 feet of track leaving a switch and nearly 100 feet of track until the long awaited “Grandma Line” is finished. The next step for the project includes installing a retaining wall and a curved switch on the mainline with the hope of finishing the project by the end of March.

Meanwhile Scott was onsite working on the leak in the gray container in the area of the 20-foot extension. Here is a quick summary from Scott:

There has been a roof leak in the gray container where the 40’ container meets the 20’.  It currently drips water on the club’s riding cars and pools on the floor when it rains.  When the 20’ gray container was added to the 40’ one, the roof height was about 2” shorter once the floor was leveled.  To help shed water, a small metal plate was tack welded between them at an angle which was then sealed over.

The old sealant had cracked over time and needed to be replaced.  The old sealant was wire wheel ground off. The new rubberized sealant was troweled over the seam and plate and then a fiberglass mesh pressed into the sealant.  A second layer of sealant was applied over the mesh to create a secure watertight seal along the whole seam.

As we close out 2024 a big thank you to all our members and volunteers who worked throughout the year on so many projects around the railroad. Looking forward to seeing what we complete in 2025.

An Almost Leftover Turkey Fun Run Day

The weather was beautiful but a little cold for most to come out and enjoy the railroad today but that didn’t stop John T. and a few others from bundling up and spending time at the railroad. John sent the following note and pictures showing the work he did on the container mural as well as installing some great looking signs at a few switches.

New container paints include: “K” Line, Sea Land, 48-foot APL, and an almost complete Maersk. Zoom in on the remaining photos and you can read the “road signs” telling you which track you’re taking at the turnout.

Unplanned workday produce progress on several projects

A small work crew, which consisted of John T., Wes, Kenneth, and Norm, came out on Saturday along with a few who stopped by to say hello. The work crew started work on building out the last switch needed to connect the east end of the “Grandma Line” to the railroad.

Once this switch is complete and installed the last 80 or 90 feet of the “Grandma Line” can be connected completing another change to our mainline traffic. However, before this can be done, we will need to build a retaining wall most likely out of the cut container panels we have similar to what we did earlier this year near the Nicol bridge. With the installation of a new retaining wall, we will also need to bring in more dirt reduce the drop off on the east end of the “Grandma Line”.

Another great year of running trains is in the books

What a way to close out our 11th season of operating on our railroad with eight steam engines and three diesel locomotives running on the railroad this past Saturday. A special thank you to our members, volunteers, and guests for making the day and year such a great success. The railroad may be closed for the season but that doesn’t mean the crews aren’t still hard at work finishing up current projects and beginning work on winter railroad maintenance.

The members of North Georgia Live Steamers look forward to seeing you around the railroad in 2025. If you or someone you know are interested in getting involved stop by one of our workdays and meet the crew and get involved.
