If you have HBO you might of seen the movie "Warm Springs" this past week.

It was mainly filmed in the Atlanta area, but the railroad portions of the film were shot on the CCKY (Chattooga & Chickamauga RR) in Northwest Georgia. The depot in Summerville, GA was the main location with the train pulling in/out a several times.

The depot in Summerville was supposed to be the setting of the train station near the town of Warm Springs (located 60 miles South of Atlanta) where FDR retreated to help his polio treatment.

CCKY has been used in other movies due to the great local scenery, light freight traffic, and they are in the backyard of the Tennessee Valley RR Museum with their fleet of classic rolling stock.
