I enjoy the history of Colorado narrow gauge,especially the preservation efforts.
But one look at Narrow Gauge Railroads in America will show that they existed in almost all the states. Take for example Maine, with its extra narrow 24" track guage. Isn't anyone out there interested in those lines?
There is a lot of equipment preserved, Depots being rebuilt, new track on old right of way and now the Edaville Railroad is back in business.
People at the WW&F Museum have re-built old cars with new wood and cars that only existed on paper.
The Maine Narrow Gauge Museum in Portland is expanding along a very scenic right of way on the city's waterfront.
The Philips Railroad Park (Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad) are doing car restoration and track and bridge building. All this in a tiny little community. All the groups have web sites; all of them can use a contribution in any amount.
New books are coming out and new editions of old ones. Let's not forget that New England had narrow gauge too!
