History will be brought to life in McDonough, this weekend, as the city continues to mark the anniversary of a deadly train wreck.

A model train exhibit is scheduled for Saturday, from 10 a.m., to 5 p.m., at the Chafin Furniture building, 15 Griffin St. The free event will include a replica of Old No. 7, a locomotive which went off the Camp Creek trestle, June 23, 1900, killing 39 people in the worst train wreck in Georgia history.
