SAM Shortline Train


SAMShortline color

Take a trip back in time as you enjoy a scenic Georgia train ride through the rolling countryside on the SAM Shortline Excursion Train that goes right through Georgia Veterans Memorial Park and over Lake Blackshear making a stop at the depot in the Park. This 1949 vintage train is named for the original rail spur line that went from Savannah to Americus, GA and then on to Montgomery, Alabama.

Today the SAM Shortline travels between Cordele and Americus, GA. The SAM Shortline’s itinerary varies by day and rotates stops at the following scenic locations: Georgia Veterans State Park and Lake Blackshear; Leslie, the home of one of Georgia’s most unique museum the Rural Telephone Museum that is situated in a beautifully restored cotton warehouse that showcases antiques, switchboards, classic cars, colorful murals–and, of course, antique telephones; Americus, a Victorian town and home to the Habitat for Humanity’s new Global Village; Plains, the small Georgia town made famous by President Jimmy Carter where you can visit President Carter’s campaign museum; and Archery, featuring President Jimmy Carter’s boyhood farm. The train stops for approximately five minutes at each depot allowing riders to disembark to visit the destination and continue on a later train.
