Looks a lot like this one still standing in Spring City, Utah.

Try this one on for size... from Silver Peak, NV:



I'd like to build a model of this one someday.

[Ray Dunakin]

At first glance this looks like a model railroad! A nine-arch stone viaduct, with a 7% grade and incredibly tight curves, looping over itself:

Nice loop, Ray. Linked to that set of photos was this one, which I think is pretty cool....

That's a cool shot! Looks like a narrow gauge line on the bridge below?

The article is about a huge steel viaduct, the small narrow gauge trestle was used to haul in the pieces for the large one.
While the large one is cool, that small one is what interests me....

Who'd have guessed there was a prototype for a giant, steam-powered, ballast-cleaning vacuum cleaner?

Greetings from Euromilitaire in Folkestone U.K.

No, it´s not a model but maybe Mr. Ferguson will challenge this one in 1/16 scale for next years show as he didn´t make it there this time  !
