PLAINS - A locomotive pulling several vintage passenger cars is making a trial run Tuesday through the peanut fields and small towns of southwest Georgia to former President Jimmy Carter's hometown. <br>
<br>
The train goes from Cordele to Carter's boyhood home in Archery, west of Plains. Backers hope it will become a major tourist attraction. <br>

Regularly scheduled train rides begin on November first. Stops will include Americus, the Plains depot that was Carter's 1976 presidential headquarters, his family's 1940s-era farm in Archery and at Leslie, home to a world-class telephone museum.
