Viewing Album:  Locust Heights and Western
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:6/4/2025 - 6/4/2025
Album Info:A home-built backyard railroad south of Clarksburg, West Virginia. 3 foot gage / track is mostly 25lb mine rail / about 3/4 mile in length. They operate a home-built geared locomotive similar to a Climax. Vertical boiler with superheater (!) flues. They give rides to the public every Wednesday evening during the summer months. I rode it, and then was able to chase it on foot.
