Kennesaw is a city in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. It had a population of 29,783 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Founded in 1887, Kennesaw has a past surrounded with railroad history. In the 1830s, Kennesaw, then known as Big Shanty, was home to a haphazard construction camp for workers converging on Cobb County to take part in the railroad building craze. During the Civil War, Kennesaw was the staging ground for the Great Locomotive Chase on April 12, 1862.

The city of Kennesaw was selected by Family Circle magazine as one of the nation's "10 best towns for families". The award was aimed at identifying the best communities nationally that combine big-city opportunities with suburban charm, a blend of affordable housing, good jobs, top-rated public schools, wide-open spaces, and less stress.

At its summit, the elevation is 1686 feet (513 m) amsl and 825 feet (251.5 m) above the surrounding area. Stone Mountain granite extends underground 9 miles at its longest point into Gwinnett County. Numerous reference books and Georgia literature have dubbed Stone Mountain as - "the largest exposed piece of granite in the world". Three figures of the Confederate States of America are carved there: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. The summit of the mountain can be reached by a steep walkup trail, which starts near the Confederate Hall and West gate entrance. Alternatively, the summit can be reached by the Skylift. The top of the mountain is a surreal landscape of bare rock and rock pools, and it provides views of the surrounding area including the skyline of downtown Atlanta, often Kennesaw Mountain, and on very clear days even the Appalachian Mountains. On some days, however, the top of the mountain is covered in a heavy fog, and visibility can be limited to only a few feet The mountain's lower slopes are wooded. The rare Georgia oak was first discovered at the summit. Attractions operate on a seasonal schedule. and some attractions are only open during the summer season. Park Gates are open daily, 6:00 am to Midnight. Attraction hours vary. The attractions are : Sky Hike Crossroads Summit Skyride Antebellum <b>...</b>

2.58 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Nothing beats a few hours of action along the CSX W&A Subdivision in northwest Georgia on a Saturday afternoon. Caught the following four trains: 1. Southbound ballast train at Kennesaw, GA led by CSX #2495 and CSX #2485 (both ex-Conrail SD50s de-rated to 3000hp SD50-2 for MofW service). 2. Northbound manifest freight train at Acworth, GA led by BNSF #5195 (C44-9W), BNSF #4908 (C44-9W), BNSF #137 (GP60M) and CSX #8368 (SD40-2). Taken in front of the town caboose looking south towards the former old mill, now the Old Mill Restaurant. 3. Northbound manifest freight train at Acworth with lots of CSX power. Shot from the same spot as the previous train. The six CSX locomotives are #329 (CW44AC), #4823 (SD70MAC), #84 (CW44AC), #8426 (SD40-2), #8038 (SD40-2) and #5252 (ES44DC). 4. Southbound manifest freight at Acworth but shot from the opposite side of the tracks facing the downtown business district. The CSX clunkers leading this train are #8118 (SD40-2), #7552 (C40-8) and #7570 (C40-8). The action here is hot; after starting slow, six trains blew through in a little over 90 minutes—the four above plus the two I just missed because I didn't have time to setup or was out of position.
