I got to do this a few years ago and it was so much fun. It was around Christmas and all the little towns like Americus and Plains were all decorated in lights. They served hot cocoa and popcorn on the train. The Policy Analyst insider scoop is that the State may be cutting their budget significantly, so you may want to do this while it is still in operation, or at least bring your own popcorn! If you are in the Southwest Georgia area, I recommend checking out the Rylander Theater (http://www.rylander.org/) in Americus and seeing a show. Then, ride the SAM Shortline.
It goes through Plains and to Archery, the boyhood home of Jimmy Carter. I loved the train ride because you really feel like you are back in time. The train goes through cotton fields, you rarely see a car and it stops in the middle of nowhere in Archery. The train stops in Plains and there are a few little antique and gift shops. It is neat to see the old South preserved like that and to have a tiny view into the boyhood of an American president. www.samshortline.com
