If I got it, it must have been too easy.

Actually, I remembered the locomotive going to the Salt Lake City Olympics. I've been compiling a lot of info about US tourist railroads for a website I'm working on.

I am in a town with a tourist railroad.

In the past There was a lot of mining activity here.

In the shops you will find many steamers (several running), A rotary snowplow, And a SD7 among other things.

Several years back there was a runnaway that shut down excoursions for a while.

The shops here were used in the filming of the movie "Rat Race" a couple of years back.

This railroad also loaned out one of it's locomotives to the Heber Creeper during the Olympics.

What town am I In??? What railroad is this ???
