Georgia - Canton, St. Paul and Pacific Railway

Canton, GA - The CSP&P Railway was incorporated in 1999 as a non profit, and tax exempt, educational 501 (c) (3)corporation. It has been organized for the educational purposes of expanding the general knowledge of the role that railroads have played in our lives and history, with a focus on the inventions and developments involved in railroads in America and the world and the metal working and fabrication skills and techniques of this same era.

To further this purpose the corporation will build, operate, and display a realistic miniature railroad based on 7.5" gauge track, collect and display railroad memorabilia, and build a library collection of railroad and metalworking books. The track is located on 12 heavily wooded acres nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains and very near the downtown district of Canton, GA. Plans call for 1 & 1/2 miles of track including three tunnels totaling 200 feet and one high trestle over 100 feet long. A roundhouse, a turntable, hydraulic unloading facilities, and other infrastructure are already in place.
