KENNESAW, Georgia — The CSX executive train pulls into Kennesaw, Georgia, on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025.

The Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, in partnership with CSX Transportation, presented the first-ever immersive reenactment of The Great Locomotive Chase. The event officially marked the start of the 2025 Medal of Honor Celebration in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

This once-in-a-lifetime event, which is sponsored by the Gary W. Rollins Foundation, had roughly 20 Medal of Honor Recipients and other guests on a special CSX train as they traveled on the famed Western and Atlantic Railroad line from Kennesaw to Ringgold, Georgia.

The honoree then traveled to Chattanooga for the 2025 Medal of Honor Celebration.
