Interesting railroad Philip. I've never heard of the FCRR either. One wonders how long the "tracks" would have lasted if the fire hadn't cut operations short. Hardwood rails without an iron strap are fairly rare. I don't think I would want to run a locomotive (even a 9 ton) over plain wooden rails. Any idea what the ruling grade was? Wooden rails don't do well on grades.
