When I was a boy there was a railroad enthusiast in Muttontown, Long Island, N.Y., (near Syosset) who had a full narrow gauge railroad on his estate. He operated a small steamer and a Diesel, towing dumpcars around his land. Eventually the railroad was disassembled and moved elsewhere. Question: Are there others around the country? That is, other private persons with their own steam locomotive that they run around their property? With all the little ex-German dock engines and those that must be available from the old eastern Europeans countries, I'd have to believe some of us are living out our fantasies.<br> Aurora7@juno.com |

As much as I respect people's perivacy, I must add that there are two 24" gauge operations in St. Marys, PA. <p>BTW, What exactly is perivacy?<br> |

There is another between Baltimore and Ellicott City, where the owner actually built his own replica of B&O 4-6-2 #5300, the President Washington, the prototype of which survives at the B&O Museum.<br> kevingillespie@usa.net |
