Got a chance to ride the Tren de la Sabana out of Bogota, Colombia in March 2014. Here are some views of narrow gauge trains operation on weekends for tourist and narrow gauge Mon-Fri commuter train that operates to the Military University outside Bogota. Train leaves Bogota's Sabana station in mornings about 6:30 AM and returns about 5:30 PM. The train hauls several hundred students everyday and is a contract with the train operator. All of this on three foot gauge.
