Train Ride Recap for Saturday, May 9th
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! 🚂
