Trestles, Runaway Trains, and Streetcars: Athens’ Unexpected Railroad History

April 27, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Athens, Georgia, has a deep railroad history, and it extends beyond the trestle on the back of a local band’s album. It includes a streetcar system that whisked Athenians around town and a narrow-gauge railroad in the region that struggled to connect with The Classic City. The stories of the local railroad history are as heartwarming as they are harrowing.
