The convention dates are August 21 - 25 2007, and the Headquarters Hotel will be the recently renovated Chattanooga Choo Choo Holiday Inn, located in the old Chattanooga Railroad station.
Planned Convention highlights include rare mileage on Wednesday's 'Blue Ridge Scenic' rail excursion, night photos sessions led by Railfan and Railroad magazines's Steve Barry, and the steam-powered round trip excursion to Summerville, Ga.
