"How long is the track?"

While it would be great to state it is 18.3 miles through dense forest or through the mountains, it is about 1.1 miles in a city park in Southeast Iowa!

There are two operating steam locomotives, one hydrostatic-diesel switcher (Plymouth), a gasoline unit (Vulcan), three additional steam locomotives ranging from "should we call the scrapper?" to "have you ordered the flues?", and another hydrostatic-diesel switcher getting torque converter repairs.
