Probably the most fun day we had on our visit to the area. The train is staffed by volunteers and is a non-profit. We had a table seat on the train, in reality I think the regular cars with seating is more comfortable. On the return trip we moved to the bench seating (which was upholstered and comfy) and enjoyed the views. The train boards at Georgia Veterans State Park. On excursion had 2 stops. One in America’s where there is a bounty of historic buildings, food and shipping. Tour the historic hotel and walk the downtown area for the best views. (A trolley meets you st the train station and transports you to the downtown area for free - tips appreciated.) The second stop is in the tiny,quaint town of Plains. There is so much history and cool things to see in Plains from the Jimmy Carter Center (the old school that Jimmy Carter attended), Billy Carter’s gas station, a small park (clean restrooms), a butterfly garden (Rosalyn Carter’s) and the best Peanut ice cream ever! All in this tiny area! The return trip was uneventful and relaxing after a long day. Highly recommend this for families and couples alike.

Great day! Enjoyed it so much. Wonderful trip through the countryside. Very informative!

Thoroughly enjoyed train ride. Saw some nice scenic views. Loved it

My daughter and I attended Murder on a train. We had a beautiful time. Just waiting on another one (hint, hint)

We had a great time. The ride on the touch a train event was really quick but it gave me and my family our first train ride.

My Husband and I along with my Sister and her Husband enjoyed a Saturday on a Sams Shortline Train Ride Excursion. It was relaxing and fun. It was fairly hot that day but the train cars are air-conditioned. We found some cold yummy peanut butter ice cream at one of the towns the train stopped at for sight seeing and shopping. This is a pleasant outing for couples as well as groups looking for something unique and different to do.

Super Relaxing! Great Beautiful Ride!

The Thomas the train event was very exciting! 25 minute train rides, funnel cakes, deep fried oreos, Bennie burgers, chicken pitas, singing, dancing, pictures, and more fun fun fun!!!! Takes place the last 2 weekends every October!
