A Railroad Track's Final Days
Crews are removing the section of track that was part of the New Georgia Railroad in the City of Stone Mountain on Main Street; Mimosa and Main Street intersection temporary closed.
If you've been down Main Street in Stone Mountain Village today, you probably noticed some de-construction going on: crews are removing the tracks that were put in years ago for the New Georgia Railroad, part of the Olympic Games in 1996.
