Oregon vs. Large Scale
Posted by Randall_Roberts on Thursday, May 29, 2008 3:22 PM

A friend sent me a link to this site about an 18" gauge train in Oregon that the state wants removed. Rather than rewrite the whole thing here, please read my blog post on the subject.

Best!

The irony is that the people who own this railroad are environmentalists themselves.  They have gone to great efforts to restore the environment on their property while building their railroad, including improving the condition of the stream for the salmon.
