Narrow Guage less than 36"
| July 14, 2001 08:18AM |
The talk about Crown's 15" and 24" loco's has me wondering about a few things:
1. Why, in Maine, was 24" used instead of 36"?
2. Was 24" used in other parts of the country as well? I have heard of a couple of two-footers in Colorado, but don't know anything about them.
3. Was 36" used at all in Maine?
4. Were there any NG RR's that was less than 24" (that wasn't strictly a tourist line)??
Looking forward to the answers. It'll make me sleep better tonight!
