The Board of Directors want to thank our members, volunteers, and visitors for making our 2023 season a success.
The Board of Directors want to thank our members, volunteers, and visitors for making our 2023 season a success. Without each one of you our not-for-profit educational organization would not be possible. Our all-volunteer team work hard year-round on projects including performing maintenance on both our steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, track work, and other railroad related projects. Our NGLS members also work on personal trains, scale structures, and more which are used during our train ride events and without those items the railroad would not operate. If you or someone you know are interested in becoming a member, please visit our website for more information.
The money raised during our train ride day event goes right back into the railroad which then helps us fund projects such as performing maintenance, building structures, and expanding the railroad. If you are interested in donating to North Georgia Live Steamers, please visit our donation page for more information about our not-for-profit organization. We look forward to seeing you during our 2024 season. Our schedule for the 2024 season will be announced in January. Again, thank you for coming out and supporting the railroad.

Saturday is the big day to come out and volunteer to rebuild a bridge starting at 8:30 a.m.
Our big volunteer day is this Saturday starting at 8:30 a.m. as we work on rebuilding one of our four bridges that has a long history with NGLS. Help us preserve this bridge and put the railroad back in operation quickly. All of our bridges were installed more than 30 years ago when the railroad was in a different location but has been operating in our current home for more than 10 years. The plan is to do in place repairs of the bridge pictured in a single day. Most of the prep work has been done which should allow us to get things apart and put back together hopefully by lunch time. The more volunteers we have the quicker we can put things back together and reopen the railroad. If you aren’t sure what you can do the first thing is to simply show up. Make sure you bring plenty of water, a lunch, cordless drills, sunscreen, and a good sense of humor. If you have any questions about volunteering, click on the button below and contact our volunteer coordinator.

In other news plans are finally in place to start construction on the shop. Many of you know that we have been delayed on this project for a variety of reasons including the discover that one of the containers was built differently and not usable in the way we had planned. The good news is a plan has been put in place so we can now get started. Phase one of the project will include running power in to container one, which is closest to the street, and water. This will require trenching from the grey container to the shop containers so we can get electricity into the shop. We will also be running a water line to the containers from the water line near the Breezeway. We are finalizing our supply list and equipment availability and then will announce our workday plans.
Train Ride Day Recap for Saturday, May 20, 2023
What a beautiful day we ended up having. The weather forecast changed by the minute all week but by Saturday the skies cleared, and the trains came out. Our all-volunteer crew showed up early and got the railroad ready for operation. Check out the pictures and videos from both of our railroads in operation.
As the railroad opened one of our long-time volunteers LaVay made it out to help with the station. His stories and tails are always a fan favorite. The railroad ran very well with four trains running strong all day giving many of our passengers an opportunity to ride every train multiple times. Checkout the pictures and videos of the day.

November 5th Run Day Recap
What an incredible way to end the 2022 season with our last run day of the season on Saturday, November 5th. The railroad came alive with several steam engines, diesels, and battery-operated locomotives trains pulling passengers around the Conyers & Hightower Trail Railroad. The day would not have been possible without the all-volunteer staff of North Georgia Live Steamers and for that we thank each and every one of them. We look forward to seeing everyone next year as the railroad comes alive again in April. The list of dates for our 2023 run days will be announced in January.
