LIVE STEAM!!
The RICHWOOD & TAHOE RR
Crestview Hills, KY
Though slightly off-topic and at the far northern reach of our group,
this could be a fun outing for Saturday. Crestview Hills is just east of Erlanger
(which you may know of ;)). Details listed below.
The R&TRR is a private railroad with app. one mile of track, a tunnel, nice grades,
a little village, a nice station and water tank. The track forms a balloon at each end
so that the train reverses and covers the layout in both directions.
The firebox burns diesel fuel.

Yes, we have a private live steam railroad in our own backyard.
It's called the Richwood & Tahoe RR, a large scale model railroad.
Gauge is app. 2 foot. The train consists of a 2-6-0 Mogul locomotive,
2 open air cars and a caboose (children only).

These runs are rare and lots of fun.
Come watch and enjoy live steam in our own backyard. ;D
Ride the train for even more fun. :)
