Greetings, John. Yes, we do have a preserved railway near us, by name, Strasburg Railroad. It's about an hour's drive from where we live, and the live steam is still going strong! let me see if I can find a quick link to send you. Since i'm new to forums, i' not entirely sure I'm allowed to post a link, but I'll try it anyway:
