Welcome to the Copperhead Lines Garden Railroad Web Site.  The Copperhead Lines Garden Railroad is located in Grayson, Georgia which is 40 miles East of Atlanta and maintained by Doug Castille. 

 

There was an attempt to start the railroad in 2004, but being on the road every week, I was unable to get the project going.  I actually put down loose track on the ground in July, 2004.  Most of the track was left on the ground over the 4 years.  I am still finding buried track during landscaping of the current railroad.

 

Construction of the phase 1 of the Copperhead Lines Railroad was started after a 4 year delay. Main line construction was completed in 2008.  The railroad consists of 5' tunnel, 3 bridges (1 is 18' long), and 200' of track. The old Tie Rock had no bridges or tunnels and was one of the smallest garden railroads in the state of Georgia (26' of track).

 

The Copperhead Lines include three areas as follows. 

1. Caseyville (complete), named for our Black Lab "Casey".
2. Tie Rock (complete), named after the old Tie Rock Garden Railroad.
3. Copperhead (complete), named after a snake that lives around our home. 

Current plans or phases:

• Phase 1 (Caseyville) was completed in September 2008 which included 70' main line.
• Phase 2 (Tie Rock) was completed in October 2008 which included 90' of additional track. 
• Phase 3 (Copperhead) was completed in May, 2010.  Track length is about 200'.
• Phase 4 (Storage Building) Storage building completed Fall of 2011. Current plans include 3 storage tracks for freight cars.  The sidings and spur will increase the railroad length to 270'.  Target completion has not been determined.
