Our first club meeting of 2025 will be this Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Hawthorne Suites (1659 Centennial Olympic Pkwy, Conyers, GA, 30013) across the street from the railroad. We will also be holding elections for the 2025 board. All Full Members wishing to vote must pay 2025 dues before votes are taken at the meeting.

It is hard to believe 2024 is about to come to an end. The year started off with New Years Day club fun day with workdays and other activities around the railroad to follow. Our members and volunteers worked more than 40 days and more than 2,000 volunteer hours throughout the year. We could not have done it without the help of “Bob Jr” and other special equipment to get so much done throughout the year. They helped trench, move dirt, gravel, and more on a variety of projects including the Clubhouse and Grandma line. Let’s take a look back at some of the photos highlighting what all happened around the railroad.

The board of directors and the members of North Georgia Live Steamers want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Every three hours in the U.S., a person or vehicle is hit by a train. If you are ever stuck at a railroad crossing, or there’s and accident or any other situation where the railroad tracks are blocked find the blue sign and call.

The last official workday of 2024 is now in the books ending with more progress on the “Grandma Line” and repair of a leak with the gray container extension. The crew working on the “Grandma Line” consisted of John T., Wes, Norm, and Robby. Together they finished nearly 70 feet of track leaving a switch and nearly 100 feet of track until the long awaited “Grandma Line” is finished. The next step for the project includes installing a retaining wall and a curved switch on the mainline with the hope of finishing the project by the end of March.

The final workday of the year is this Saturday, December 14th starting at 8:30 a.m. The day will be focus on the “Grandma Line” with plans to install and set more track panels and continue working on building the final switch needed for the project.

North Georgia Live Steamers has a number of ongoing projects that, as you might expect, need funding to complete.
