A Little Local Railroad History

Pooler has deep roots in railroad history. The town was named after Capitan Robert William Pooler, who was instrumental in the formation of the Central of Georgia Railway to connect Savannah and Macon Georgia. William Tecumseh Sherman followed its right-of-way to Savannah, making camp at Pooler.

Originally known as Pooler Station, the town developed in the late 1800s as a key stop along the Central of Georgia Railway. The railroad played a major role in shaping the community, supporting local industry and connecting Savannah with inland Georgia. Hosting our meet here continues a long tradition of railroading in the area—making Pooler a fitting backdrop for our gathering. This has always been a great meeting, with interesting presentations and great layout tours.

The CLinics for this meeting include:

• A review of last years National Convention in Novi, Michigan
• A preview of this years National Conention in Chattanooga, Tennessee
• New Layout Tours

As always there will be time for show and tell. Bring your current projectss to show off to everyone.

Remember, this is an open meeting

Invite your non-NMRA friends who have an interest in model railroading or rail history. It’s a great way to introduce them to the hobby and the community.

The food is always great as is the service at Lovezzola's. Be sure to save the date and bring a modeling friend.
