Along The WayBlue Ridge Scenic![]() Back in 2007 I published “Along the Way”, a trip guide for the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (BRSR) in the North Georgia Mountains where I was a volunteer. The strategy was to create a training document for other volunteers that contained history of the line, rail cars and classic railroad items with plenty of pictures. This paperback book became very popular as it was introduced to the public, sales averaged 3,000 a year. Over the last ten years I have made some changes and updated the pictures being to never waste any space. The current edition is available in the Blue Ridge giuf shop. I began as early as 2005 creating a newsletter on a website. As the material grew it became apparent some could be fitted into a printed format. Lots of the original material was already researched and available. I divided the book into four sections; Introduction and History, Along The Way, The Consist, and Vintage Railroad. This was the beginning of my railroad series of books. I added Railroading 101, 102 and 103 over the next several years and hope to extend the offer to help other railroads produce their own guides. If you have never been in this part of the country you can read about it in my book. |
