Love to see that a Short Line Railroad still survives to carry freight during the week and passengers on the weekend and special days. We made the trip from Cordele on the 4th to Plains for the Plains, Georgia Fireworks Display. A most enjoyable trip. There was food available on the return trip, simple things like burgers, dogs, chips, etc. Just something to fill the gap for the hungry. It was a great escape from Atlanta and we really enjoyed our visit.

It was an awesome find and a beautiful experience to ride the SAM train from Georgia Veterans state park to Jimmy Carter's Plains boyhood home. The Dearing Pullman car was a wonderfully restored railcar that enveloped the history of railroad heydays. There was a slight clitch with the ticket which was resolved. Great day on the rails!

This place has year round excursions for you to travel on authentic train and feel a piece of history. The prices are very reasonable because you have add-ons and options to make your trip affordable and unique to you. You can go alone, with a friend, with a spouse or new love and even with kids. This is definitely and experience to check out. A lot of people don't know about these train rides. So surprise someone and spread the word. There is something to be said about train travel and this is it. We do not need to loose an experience like this. 🚂

It was awesome. All the employees I spoke with were friendly and always ready to help. I would absolutely go again. They have some souvenirs you can buy on the train. Small concession stand also. They also have restrooms on the train. It is a challenge to walk the train while it is moving, but sure is fun!

Great experience, ride,sights, people and fun. Can't wait to do it again! We had two stops in Americus and Plains Georgia(home of former President Jimmy Carter & family). We really enjoyed exploring both towns. Great for kids. Clean.

We took the "Plains Express" as it was the only ride available when we were there. 1st week of November, we stayed in the adjacent Veterans Memorial State Park in our RV (great stay!) A very nice way to spend the day. Very relaxing. We bought the least expensive tickets and it was perfect for me and my boyfriend. Comfortable seats, concession car and bathrooms on board. A low stress way to spend the day.

We took the Christmas Train Ride. We loved it, everyone was so friendly. Only downside is only the night ride was available so we couldn't see anything out the window.
