Pond developed construction documents for 6 phases of the trail including the final stretch and celebratory gateway arch at the Georgia-Alabama state line which was officially completed in August of 2008. While much of the Silver Comet Trail utilizes the former railroad right of way, the Rockmart to Cedartown segment required re-routing due to still active rail. To divert the trail, Pond coordinated with the client, utility companies, and landowners to settle on feasible routes. The Silver Comet Trail System runs from Smyrna, Georgia, 61.5 miles west to the Alabama border. The trail meanders through the picturesque countryside across streams, past ponds and wetlands, and along pastures where trail-users see horses and cattle on the farms that border the trail.
