"The Pine Mountain Railroad operates at the Stockmar Park in Villa Rica, GA. This railroad is an excellent example of a well cared for and maintained line. The buildings and track are in excellent shape and there is even a telegraph line following most of the tracks. The locomotive is an S-16 that used to run at a local Wild West town.
The train was not running during our visit and we were not able to come back for the Christmas train. They have an active Facebook page with some great pictures." ~ WordPress
