| | The Silver Comet Trail |
 | | Since the trail is part of the "rails to trails" project, the grade never exceeds 2%, making it relatively easy no matter what type of power you are using. |
 | | For 22 years the Silver Comet serviced the cities of the Great Southern Arc, carrying passengers from the northeast United States (begining in New York City and including stops in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D. C.) to Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia (including its major stop, Atlanta), finishing its run in Birmingham, Alabama. |
 | | While connecting the trail to the other Atlanta trails is a long-term desire of the organization many obstacles lie in the way. |
