Trains! Trains! Trains! 2023 Recap
What an incredible weekend we had at The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw. Our location in the museum was unbelievable as more than 3,000 visitors coming through the museum passed by our display area. This year we displayed the club steamer, Coca-Cola modern tank car, 40ft Chick-fil-A box car, and a C&O end cupola caboose. The weekend would not have been possible without our North Georgia Live Steamers volunteers. On Friday, we had Norm, Thomas, Bob, Scott, and Robby go to the museum to setup our space in the museum.

On Saturday, we had Scott, Sherry, David E., Joe, Norm, and Robby greet about 2,000 visitors to the museum. We enjoyed the surprise most had when they came around the corner and saw our displays with pictures taken of and with each item on display. It was a close race between the Chick-fil-A box car and the club steam engine as to which was the most popular to get a picture of.
On Sunday, we had Scott, Norm, Susan, Bob, and Robby taking care of answering questions and taking more pictures of our display. We also wondered through the museum and got to see many of the other railroad and museum items on display.
