Your responce to me appeared in the CVS directory, I'm not sure if that's something Golded had done on my end, or something on yours but in any event
;)

I'm uncertain about what's still rolling in the area. They have an electric train that is reminiscent of trolly cars iirc on site and most everything
else is now static. Guests can of course stay in a converted passenger car, which is what I did on my trip. The town has a lot of civil war sites of course, and we ended up visiting a lot of those.

Now up here in the great white north, I do know that there is a group that
has fully restored an old steam engine and aquired 25 Km of track rights and they are based somewhere outside of London, Ontario.

Most old steams I know of are unfortunately out of service these days, either
a lack of willingness to continue to maintain the equipment or lack of funds.

Hamilton boasts a still functional steam works, a national historic site, and they occasionally run miniature steam trains (the sit on/in size engines for
an adult ... picture the canopy of the engineer's booth being the seat)

Kind of neat to see the old stuff in action as it still works with suprising amounts of power.

It might have been my goof. I was trying to install some new command
shells for Synchronet, and corrupted several configuration files. As a
result, I'm having to reconfigure EVERYTHING (message areas, files,
doors)...at least none of the actual "data" for users, files, or doors,
was lost. I apologize for the mess.

They have a trolley running a short distance in Fort Smith,
Arkansas...and the River Rail in Little Rock is a trolley line running
through downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock. Later this year, the
line should reach to the Clinton Presidential Library...which hasn't
been open 6 months yet...and already has had over 300,000 visitors.

I think it's mainly insurance liability issues...in case of a
derailment, etc.

There was a case a few years ago where one of the Union Pacific Steam
engines (not sure if it was 3985 or 844)...and its consist ended up
helping a freight train that had stalled out down the line...steam
moving diesel.
