I remember seeing video of this backyard railroad. My grandfather made a trip out to see it with a few of his friends. Wish I still had the video of it.

That is the railroad my grandfather visited. I thought there was turntables at each end. I can't remember when my grandfather was there but he was with a few of the guys from the live steam group, Independent Live Steamers. Thank you for sharing them with me.
