The threat of rain didn’t put a damper on our latest run day.
The day started out with clouds and sprinkles throughout much of the Atlanta area but as the trains began to arrive the clouds lightened and the railroad stayed dry all day. Many thanks to our all-volunteer team making the day such a success. The railroad ran great, and everyone seems to be getting used to the new route that was finished during the winter months. The railroad ran mostly steam engines on Saturday but had help from the club diesel and members Davenport switcher to help all of the visitors experience the railroad. Our Gauge 1 crew also operated our elevated railroad providing many more memories and enjoyment for everyone in attendance. We look forward to seeing everyone around the railroad during our next run day this fall or if you’d like to come out during one of our workdays and learn more about what we do keep an eye out on our website or social media for the latest on our schedule.

Recap of our April 13, 2024, public run day
A big thank you to our members, volunteers, and visitors as we opened the 2024 season. We couldn’t do what we do without each and every one of you. The railroad saw five steam engines, five diesel locomotives, and lots of rolling stock running around the railroad. A big thanks to Liz from Operation Life Saver in helping share the importance of railroad safety. Also, a special thank you to our photographer Nat for taking lots of great photos from Saturday’s event. We look forward to seeing everyone around the railroad at our May 18th public run day.

What an incredible end to the 2023 public run season
What an incredible end of the 2023 public run season we had on Saturday. The weather was perfect, and the railroad saw the most steam engines in operation during a run day in recent memories. The day would not have been a success without each member, volunteer, and guest who came out.
