Savannah and Atlanta 750, a Pacific type steam locomotive, pulls a New Georgia Railroad excursion train under MARTA, (Atlanta's Transit System). The location is Howard Avenue in Decatur, GA in 1986.
The General II (STM 104) has already been moved to SRM. She has been cosmetically restored and has been on display on the Museum Property for three months.
