What's your favorite narrow gauge railroad and why?
Oahu Railway & Land company here, largest narrow gauge class one common carrier in the USA, and only one with a double track mainline, ABS signaling system, and electrically operated turntable.

This one ran from Umzinto to Donnybrook. They shut it down in 1987 after a bunch of track washed out. Most of the rail has been moved to Wales for their narrow gauge line.

Definitely my favourite one. Throughout the Natal there are a lot of narrow gauge lines because of the sugar plantations and so on.

The design of the original passenger train on the Disneyland Railroad was based directly off of train cars from the Oahu Railway.

TIL.
They should convert it to a broader narrow gauge and integrate with a new rail system under the same gauge. Pity it's plain old boring standard gauge.

The Harz narrow-gauge railway (Harzer Schmalspurbahnen)
It serves a mountain range in north-central Germany. It's the largest continuos steam train network in Europe, runs on meter gauge, runs some diesel trains and connects to/is identical with a tramway in one town.

The OR&L and the Disneyland Railroad are both three-foot gauge.

The new Honolulu Rail Transit. A narrow gauge one, not necessarily 914mm would be interesting.

There were several other 2 foot gauge lines in Maine that connected to it, as well. For a while, Maine had the 2nd-largest narrow gauge railroad network in the US, surpassed only by the three-foot Colorado narrow gauge system.

The line yes.

The company OEG (Oberrheinische Eisenbahngesellschaft) doesn't, it merged with the tram companies of Heidelberg, Mannheim and Ludwigshafen and the RHB railway into a new company called Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr (RNV) in the year 2005.
The old names OEG and RHB for the interurban lines still live on among the population.

So #21 was built and Indonesia for sugar cane hauling and then imported to the U.S (specifically Carver, Massachusetts).

How the fuck did they get that shit through customs?
