Have a look at the Tallulah Falls (GA) RR's facebook page and their post of this excellent video of Disney's making of the Great Locomotive Chase.

Fess Parker narrates and plays in this documentary of Walt Disney and crew making the famous film starring the 'General' and the 'Texas' and a host of others. 

The Tallulah Falls RR has a nice museum located on highway 441 in Rabun Gap GA just across the SC line on the way south to Atlanta. The proprietor, Dess Oliver is an amazing fella who is the Vo-Tech instructor at a nearby school and has built almost everything in the museum with his students at the shop of the school.  You really should try to see this place sometime.

 

Our junior club member Josh Scott has worked there on occasion and organized a field trip to the museum when he first joined a couple of years ago. He was only 13 at the time. His grandmother's home was seen briefly in the background during the chase in the film which was filmed in the area of northern Georgia.
