It is hard to believe that we are just days away from our first public run day of the 2025 season. Before we can open up we have a few last minute winter projects to complete around the railroad which includes installing a new switch, railroad maintenance, and equipment maintenance before we open for the season. On Saturday, March 22nd starting at 8:30 a.m. we be our next workday and our last workday before our first public run day of the season on Saturday, April 5th to prepare the railroad and property for our visitors.
If you are able to come out make sure you bring tools, knee pads, lunch, and a great sense of humor. See everyone soon.
It is hard to believe that March is finally here and the weather teased us with a clear warm day. A lot of members came out ran trains and worked on a variety of other projects as everyone starts transitioning from winter to spring activities.
Our 2025 train ride schedule has been set and we look forward to seeing everyone around the railroad this season. The schedule for the 2025 season will be Saturday, April 5th, May 17th, October 4th, and November 1st from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Riders must be at least 18 months old or older.

What an incredible day. The air warmed up, and the sun was bright throughout the day. We had an energetic crew at the site helping to repair both of the outer loop tracks on the east side of the railroad.
Our regularly scheduled workday is this Saturday, February 22nd, with a focus on performing major track repair on the east loop of the railroad. We need to repair about 100 feet of track, which has large gaps between sections that limit the ability to use the railroad. The day will start a little cold but will warm up, especially since we will be working in the sun. Make sure you bring lunch, tools, and a good sense of humor.
Please note that this track work needs to be done before our next Club Fun Day, which is Saturday, March 1st. If we have a large enough crew, we may have a couple of people split off and work on finishing building the curve switch for the “Grandma Line” project, and if we get really lucky, maybe even install the switch. That is a big maybe.
North Georgia Live Steamers want to wish all of you and your special someone a Happy Valentine’s Day.

If you are unable to come this Saturday we are planning a major repair workday on Saturday, February 22nd starting at 8:30 a.m. The plan for our major repair workday is to work on nearly 100 feet of track in the east loop. This repair is needed before we have our club fun day on March 1st. If we have a large enough crew for this work day we will have a few split off to work on a couple of other items including building a curved switch for the Grandma line that we hope to have installed during one of our March work days ahead of our first public run day of the season.
