The annual Sum Nelly Fall Arts and Crafts Festival in Summerville at Dick Dowdy Park kicked off the "Steam Into Summerville Days."  Vendors and spectators from all across the area attended the event.

Each weekend during Rail Road Days, local activities will begin prior to the arrival of the historic steam locomotive and train from the Tennessee Valley Railroad. The train is expected to steam into Summerville at approximately 1 p.m. on each of these Railroad Days.Following the train’s arrival, visitors may watch as the historic #610 steam locomotive is detached from the train and turned on the massive 95 ton Summerville Railroad Turntable.
