Yeah, there is a cool photo of one of their 0-2-0s in that book "The Locomotives Baldwin Built". The line ran to some big mines in the Kinzua region in NW Pennsylvania, transporting commuting miners. A locomotive exploded at a station killing a number of miners, and that was the end of it, about 5 years into its operations. There was a 20 mile long gasoline-powered monorail that operated in the Mojave Desert.It ran on-and-off for about 10 years.
