Background
What do you do when you can't get grass to grow in your front yard? You build a garden railroad, of course! Inspired in March 2017 by a display of G-Scale trains by the Georgia Garden Railway Society at the Piedmont Division Model Train Show, Lori set about planning and building the Cothran Valley Garden Railroad.
About the CVG RR
This railroad travels back to late 1960's on a fictitious short line running through rural North Georgia mountains. The railroad features two ovals of track surrounded by farmsteads, a small train depot, and a magical village on the far side of the mountain. The rolling stock showcases iconic billboards of the era.
The railway is nestled into existing gardens and includes scale plantings.
