The dismantling of the DMTRR Railways (circa 1998)

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.
