Norgrove Railway Steam Trains April 06, 2025, 10:52:13 pm Thanks to fellow Lazy Dazers Jody and Tracey who invited us to an event at the Norgrove Railway, a privately owned railway on the Central Coast. Three separate trains were traversing the hilly 3-mile track, replete with tressels and tunnels, on a 150 acre property. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZccYnDfiwHQ#ddg-play 3 Likes

We were talking to a gentleman at the event on Sunday who volunteers at the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum SLO Railroad Museum and he mentioned this movie, based on a true story, which we had not seen before so we found it on Amazon Prime and watched it last night. Lots of action!Unstoppable (2010) - IMDbThe actual incident:CSX 8888 incident - Wikipedia
Re: Norgrove Railway Steam Trains Reply #3 – April 08, 2025, 01:10:58 pm My wife and I have ridden on a good percentage of the West's tourist railways, but I didn't realize there were so many private, "garden" railways. What a nice opportunity.Larry
Re: Norgrove Railway Steam Trains Reply #4 – April 08, 2025, 01:35:01 pm Larry, it was news to us as well. Thanks again to Jody and Tracey for the invite! I’ve had a fondness for trains since a small boy as my grandfather was a mechanic for the Nevada Northern Railroad in East Ely, NV. He had a short commute to work, living a couple blocks away from the depot:Train Museum | Nevada Northern RailwayHere is another venue in our area I just learned about for your next visit to the Central Coast:Halter Ranch Estate: Wine Down Train Ride and BBQ | Halter Ranch
