Press Release: Media Day Scheduled for Wednesday, October 3, 2020 at 9 a.m.
Conyers, GA: Today, North Georgia Live Steamers, a 1/8 scale model train railroad designed for train enthusiast, the community, and to help promote the history of railroading, announced today a fundraising campaign to help support the financial needs of this 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization during these challenging times. This year the organization has had to cancel four out of the five scheduled public run days to date creating this need to seek additional ways to fund the organization. A donation page has been created at http://charity.gofundme.com/nglsrr where we hope to raise $3,500.
We have a number of ongoing projects including maintenance on the railroad, equipment, and the additional track that is being installed which will increase our total railroad capacity to about 2 1/2 miles with about 1 mile of it being mainline track.
On Saturday, October 3, 2020 starting at 9 a.m. the North Georgia Live Steamers invites members of the press out to learn more about the organization. The morning will include our annual steam locomotive boiler inspection and operation of the railroad after the inspections are complete around 10:15 a.m. During this time representatives from North Georgia Live Steamers will be on hand to answer questions and provide tours of the railroad.
