Here is an overview of the Tridaily RR:
The Tridaily RR (named for its daily attempt at a run) is a "Mom and Pop" spur off the Southern RR, located in North Georgia by the Savannah River.
Key details of the layout and operations include:
- Operations: Uses JMRI paper manifests for train operations.
- Sound Systems: Features over 100 locomotive, car, and caboose sounds, as well as Broadway Limited's "Rolling Thunder" locomotive sounds.
- Freight & Freight Flow: Moves local timber and mined raw materials to the Georgia Southern interchange tracks, while also transporting raw materials and finished goods to support local businesses and residents.
- Locations Served: Lily Village, Eli Town, Asher Town, Hallie Yard, and Lake Judy.
- Local Highlights: Features a Varsity Diner located near the interchange track, making it a favorite run for engineers, conductors, and brakemen.
