That's the Furness Railway No. 20, the oldest standard gauge locomotive still operating in Britain (the year 1865, iirc).

Bowes Railway, Tyne and Wear built by George Stephenson in 1826.

Advertised as 'The World's Only Standard Gauge Cable Railway' which is a thing worth mentioning I suppose.

This is our oldest operating steam locomotive, Isle of Man Steam Railway's No. 4 Loch. It's a Beyer Peacock 2-4-0 Tank (3ft Narrow Gauge) built in 1874 and still going. The locomotives boiler certificate expired in 2015 though so it's getting a new one at the moment.

The cable-powered portion of the line is non-functional, iirc.

3 ft gauge is all the rage.

The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad started out as 3 foot narrow gauge line in the Colorado Rockies that had roughly 2000 miles of narrow gauge main line. There are two Narrow gauge remnants of the D&RGW left in eservice that run similar equipment. The first is the Durango and Silverton that runs on a 45 mile stretch of restored narrow gauge main line. The second is the Cumbres and Toltec which operates on a 64 mile stretch of the preserved San Juan line between southern Colorado and Norther New Mexico.

There's quite a bit of 3 foot gauge still active in the U.S. It would be something to see Euro equipment operating here, even if it was on a temporary basis. There is a lot of standard and narrow gauge steam still operational here.
