Re: Defiance Coal Company in Mentmore, New Mexico

Folks,
I have visited her at the Rail Road Museum of Long Island. Because of the unusual gauge; I did not think that she was going to steam again.

The museum has two seperate properties on Long Island' s North Fork. At one time they hoped to run excursions between Riverhead and Greenport, but I have not heard that discussion in recent years. The Riverhead property has a nice model railroad layout in the building. For any railfan who is going to Long Island, they are worth a drive out to Suffolk County. I am not clear if the railroad still runs trains out there; it my be a bus destination.
