But good news: the next several meetings will be held at 7PM on 2nd Fridays IN PERSON
in the Scout Room at the church and also via Skype.
(Please contact Bob Lacheen to have him invite you to 'the video party' if you are out of
town or don't wish to be in our meeting room.)
For the church, you REALLY SHOULD wear a mask; NO food (personal water bottle OK),
and remember physical distancing!!
Thank YOU!

Enjoy browsing, and let us know your thoughts on this.
The Georgia Society of Ferroequinologists, Inc. is a railroading
club organized to discuss and enjoy railroading and trains, from
prototype to models,
in a social environment. It is a family club, with ALL
members of a family welcome to participate.
The organization was founded in 1979 (2020 is our 42nd year
as a club!) as the Cobb County
Society of Ferroequinologists, and members have met monthly
since then to talk and enjoy trains. Our name was changed
in the mid 1980s when we were incorporated in the state of
Georgia. Our meetings are held on 2nd Friday nights of the month in
Marietta, Georgia. At these meetings we discuss Society
business and enjoy a program, usually presented by a rail
transportation business person from the North Georgia area,
or one of our own members that relates a wonderful rail
experience.
What exactly is a "Ferroequinologist" ???
The word "Ferroequinologist" first saw use as far back as 1966 in England,
and is becoming more commonplace in the railroading hobby.
The word is made from several parts:
equine: a horse,
ologist: one who studies
The GSoF sponsors outings to local (and some distant) places to
ride rail, visit rail museums or view rail industrial sites.
We invite you to a GSoF activity, be a member, and share in our fun!
