A work session has been scheduled at the Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah, Ga., for Saturday, June 29, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. We’ll be continuing our work on the Society’s 1925 Central of Georgia flat car (donated by Georgia Power in 2011).
At this session, we plan to:
1. Remove bolts holding the wood stringers onto the frame. (All removed nuts and bolts will be saved for possible reuse.)
2. Remove the sand, dirt, rust, and other debris from the top of the center sill.
3. Remove road grime from the trucks
Those attending will need to bring their own tools and protective gear.
Due to insurance regulations, we need to know in advance if you are planning to attend.
For more information, including a list of what you’ll need to bring, please contact Stephen Syfrett, Restoration Project Manager at

The spring meeting of the Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society, Inc. will be held in Leeds, Alabama, on Saturday, April 20, 2013. Our meeting will be co-sponsored by the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society.
We’ll meet at 9:00 a.m. (Central Time) in the former Southern Railway Depot in Leeds (located at 8335 Thornton Avenue) for a presentation on Central of Georgia operations in the Leeds area. Several former CofGa employees who worked in the Leeds area are scheduled to attend. Members can also see current Norfolk Southern operations on both the former Southern Railway and Central of Georgia lines at Leeds.
Around 10:00 a.m., we will depart Leeds in passenger vans to visit several area CofGa locations, with an emphasis on some of the locations mentioned in the article "Operations Around Winburn, Alabama" that was featured in the January–March 2013 issue of The Right Way. Present plans are to visit Weems, McCombs (site of the connection with the CofGa’s Cahaba District), Margaret Junction (site of the connection with the CofGa’s Margaret District), Henry Ellen (between Leeds and Margaret Junction), Winburn Yard, and the Coosa Mountain Tunnel. Walking will be necessary to access some locations, although much can be seen without leaving the vans.
Lunch will be on your own at the Irondale Cafe, with train watching at the railfan platform across the street. We should return to the Leeds Depot around 4:00 p.m.
Registration is $18.00 per person (to cover the cost of transportation). If registering after April 14, please email

to ensure there is a seat available on one of the vans. |
