Big push to complete the passenger line project
It is amazing how much we have completed over the past year on the passenger line project. On July 25, 2020, we started the project with the installation of the bypass switch. By the end of August 2020 work was in full swing on the east side of the railroad with work on the bypass from the outer loop and installation of a switch and panels from the inner loop heading towards the railroads first diamond.
As we move into September of 2020, we picked up momentum with the installation of the diamond work progressed fast as we moved our efforts beyond the diamond and started laying track that would represent the passenger line. Once it was all said and done, we had laid nearly 200 feet of track and well on our way to the grade crossing that would later be installed in 2021.

So, if you made it to the end of this timeline you might be asking what is next. As of July 2nd, we are 90 days away from the planned re-opening of the railroad with our first public run day since 2019. We are also about 250 feet away from completing the track work to complete the passenger line. We have five official workdays planned between now and October 2nd creating a tight schedule to complete everything. As you plan your next few months please consider coming out and helping us push forward to complete this project. Every set of hands will get us closer to completing this project ahead of our October reopening.
If you have any questions or would like to organize a weekday or weekend workday outside of what is already scheduled please contact Norm or Robby. For those that are reading this and are not part of our club and are interested in volunteering and learning more about our organization please feel free to come out during one of our workdays. If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact Robby for more details.
Hope to see you around the railroad soon.
Are you looking for something to do this summer? We are looking for volunteers to help us finish a few things.
North Georgia Live Steamers is looking for some volunteers this summer. As we work on reopening this fall as the area and the world move forward from the pandemic, we have been busy on a few projects. We are in the home stretch of a major railroad project and could use some extra hands, machinery, and encouragement to complete this project by the end of the summer.
Over the past two years we have been working on expanding the railroad so we can handle more traffic, riders, and just make the overall experience that much better. Over many Saturdays this summer a crew will be at the site working on the last 300-feet of track and could use some extra hands.

If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about the project, please reach out to Robby our Club Secretary for more details on how you can get involved. No experience necessary just a willingness to get involved. If you are unable to volunteer and would like to make a donation to help us complete the project your consideration would be appreciated.

March out reach from North Georgia Live Steamers
This is Robby Mossman again from North Georgia Live Steamers. I reached out to you a few weeks ago letting you know about our 2021 plans to reach out to other clubs and railroads in the southeast in hopes of better awareness of what is going on in the hobby. This is a follow up to my original email and you may remember our goal in 2021 is to visit more railroads around the southeast and invite others to come visit our railroad. Our next club fun day is scheduled for Saturday, April 3rd and would love to have you and others from your club and railroad join us on this day. As a note our club fun days and our Fall Meet will not be part of our Public Run Days which we use to help raise the necessary funds to support the railroad.
