For Kids Who Love Choo-Choos, A Dream Day

The 40th Atlanta Model Train and Railroadiana took place in Norcross, a train-loving town.

Norcross is a town with a train obsession:Β Prior to the Civil War, a railroad plan was mapped out and approved for the forests northeast of Atlanta. After the war, when the railway was complete, the town was born.

Over 140 years later Norcross continues to thrive, and railroad continues to be at the center of all. The North Atlanta Trade Center hosted the 40th Atlanta Model Train and Railroadiana show on Saturday in Norcross.Β 

Over 300 tables of model trains were on exhibit and up for sale. Though the smiles were most evident on the childrens' faces, the event was a success for all ages. Toy trains ran the tracks and vintage railway memorabilia was around every corner.
