Scheduled steam in SE USA
Posted by jockellis on Saturday, July 5, 2008 10:03 AM
Georgia has the Georgia Agrirama RR and Six Flags over Georgia as venues for those wishing to ride behind a steam powered locomotive. Florida has Disneyworld. What other states offer this in the SE and what are these attractions?

In North Carolina, we run a 0-4-0T every month on the 4 1/2 miles of track we have.  In fact, we are the only regular scheduled standard gauge steam in NC, SC, and Virginia.  Check out our site at www.nhvry.org .
