I am trying to find some information on a narrow gauge steam train that operated
in the Huntsville area in the late 1960's. I actually remember riding this
train as a child. It was set up by a company that planned to open an amusement
park. They set up the train and gave rides on the weekend will trying to sell
shares in the new park. The park never came into existence. The locomotive was
a narrow guage engine that came from a sugar plantation. If anyone has any info
on this operation, please let me know. Thanks for any help.
