Work Day / Public Run Prep Day

Written By North Georgia Live Steamers

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 2nd at 8:30 a.m.—it’s time to roll up our sleeves and give the railroad some well-deserved TLC!

We’ve got a productive (and satisfying!) day planned, focusing on track maintenance—especially in the yard area and switches. After our spring meet, we found a few spots that need attention, including some switches that need to be regauged and secured with longer screws—particularly on the far end of the #4 yard track. We’ll also be making our way around the railroad to tighten up older sections where rails have loosened over time.

It’s a great chance to make a real impact, learn a few things, and enjoy some time together trackside.

🛠 What to bring:

  • Your favorite tools

  • Water to stay hydrated

  • Lunch to keep you fueled

  • And most importantly… your sense of humor 😄

Let’s make it a fun, productive day and keep the railroad running smoothly. See you there!
