Our public run days is how North Georgia Live Steamers funds the railroad. Because we have had to cancel our first few run days of the seasons we currently do not have any funds coming in during this time. Thankfully we are an all volunteers non-profit and with that said, the funds we collect during our run days goes directly back into the railroad to help us with locomotive repairs, insurance, track expansion, and other items.
