My grandfather worked that engine for years, he was the brakeman on its final run out of Savannah.

Priceless! I rode in the cab once. Wrote a story about it for the college newspaper. The 18-mile loop route. It's wheels slipped at Howell Junction. One of those E8 diesels was ex-Penn Central. It was a New York Central unit before that. Looks like this one is on it's way to Stone Mountain.

@Railroad,Preserver,2000 That's right, and let's not forget about the General 2 steam locomotive engine that once belong to the Stone Mountain theme park as well too.

Yep, indeed she is, although it's sad to see that she won't run again anytime soon, I'm glad she's happy enjoying her quiet retirement at her new home at the Southeastern Railway Museum, as long as she stays there, her legend will live on

You know that this train used to head out to the Stone Mountain theme park every Saturday and on occasion some Sundays as well too, from 1988 to 1992.

I have two questions to ask. 1. Do you own the rights to this footage? 2. Can I use this video in a travel series episode that I am making on the Southeastern Railway Museum? I would give you all the proper credits in the episode.
