Themeparkfanatic | Stone Mountain Scenic Railroad at Stone Mountain @woodencoasterfan | Uploaded August 2014 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
This is a condensed on ride video of the Stone Mountain Scenic Railroad trip around the mountain which is actually classified as a hill. The actual mileage around Stone Mountain is actually 3.88 miles according to Wikipedia and the trip takes about 40 minutes so this video was condensed down to 13 minutes. The first documented railroad was laid here in 1869 as a spur line to the Stone Mountain Granite Quarry. This current line has operated since 1962. There are currently two diesel locomotives on this circuit which are units FP7A #6143 which is in this video and FP7A #6143 which were both built by EMD. I believe the one in the video is reminiscent of the early diesel locomotives when they were used in the 50's especially for those streamline looking passenger trains.
