The beautiful weather helped set the stage for an incredibly productive workday on Saturday, May 16th!

The momentum actually began Friday evening when Wes and John arrived early to help prepare for Saturday’s activities. On Saturday, the hardworking crew of John, Wes, Gene, Norm, and Robby tackled several important items on the clubhouse and workshop project.

The team spent the day working on the track leading up to the clubhouse while also making repairs to container two. The repair work included rebuilding part of the rear floor structure and installing a new exterior support beam to strengthen the container for years to come.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who volunteered their time and effort. Every workday brings us one step closer to improving and preserving the railroad for everyone to enjoy.

Our next workday will be in two weeks, and we would love to see even more members and volunteers come out to lend a hand. Whether you can help for a few hours or the entire day, every bit of support makes a difference — and it’s always a great time working together with fellow railroad enthusiasts.

Come join us, get involved, and help keep the momentum going!

The final push to finish our clubhouse and workshop is officially underway — and this is where you come in! On Saturday, May 16th from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. we will be at the site working on the containers.

We’re launching a series of every‑other‑weekend workdays, giving everyone plenty of chances to jump in, lend a hand, learn something new, and be part of the team that brings this project across the finish line. This is one of the biggest upgrades in our club’s history, and we want as many members as possible to be part of it.

Whether you swing a hammer, paint a wall, move materials, or simply bring good energy — your help matters. Every workday gets us one step closer to celebrating a fully finished clubhouse and workshop at our October Fall Meet… and yes, we’re aiming to have it done this year 😉

Come out, get involved, make memories, and help build something the whole club will enjoy for years to come.
Let’s do this — together.

The second public train ride day of the 2026 season is officially in the books at North Georgia Live Steamers — and what an AMAZING day it turned out to be!

After a threat of rain leading into Saturday, the clouds cleared just in time for a perfect afternoon as the whistles blew and trains began rolling out of the station. The beautiful weather brought out huge crowds, and throughout the day we gave approximately 500 train rides to excited guests of all ages!

From the sound of steam engines working the rails to the sight of families packed on passenger cars with smiles from ear to ear, the entire property was alive with railroad excitement. Guests enjoyed riding behind a fantastic lineup of locomotives while taking in the sights of boxcars, cabooses, and classic rolling stock throughout the railroad.

Days like this are what make the hobby so special — sharing the magic of railroading with the community and creating memories for kids and adults alike. A huge thank you goes out to all of our volunteers, crews, and visitors who helped make the day such a tremendous success.

We can’t wait to do it all again at the next run day. All aboard! 🚂
