Summerville Depot
The family has a great time at the Summerville Depot in Summerville, Georgia as it is located in Northwest Georgia. We met a lot of new friends and more importantly 'Rail fans.
TVRM has a train ride from Chattanooga, TN to Summerville Ga. on a steam train. This year in October of 2015 it was Southern 4501 pulling twelve rail cars mainly passengers cars.
When the train gets to Summerville Georgia, they disconnect the train and put her on the active "turntable" It's where the train can load up on the track and be turned around and return to Chattanooga pointed in the opposite direction that she came down.
One of the model train club setup a HO layout in the depot. The Chattanooga Modelers model train club. It was nice to meet and greet them as we talked model railroading and shared different experiences.
I guess what I am saying is that there was good friends and fellowship and "FOOD !!"
I could not help but notice that once again we see a youth movement with Model trains. Many thinks it's for the older men and retirees, but no so today. Here you see my son and several young men very interested and very active in model railroading.
Our family started with model railroading and we also got into rail fanning which is the photography part of the family hobby.
