Cool! Reminds me of the "Toonerville Trolley" of old news paper cartoons fame.

I was trying to pin down what it reminded me. Thank you for allowing to keep my sleep tonight.

The part of the line I saw, it would need mountain goat catchers. However, I was informed that it was hard to catch a mountain goat.

Seriously though, they are working to have a two mile rail route going around mountain crags. They are working to have a trolley from the 1930s rebuilt and running. They have a CBQ interurban that they hope to get going. A small concern with great expectations. Check out their website.

I assume there is a motor in #6.
Do you have a link for the details?

Sorry, I don't.

When I conversed with Rocky, I was told that they put in a motor. When I looked into the front, I think that it was a gasoline motor. And it is the #6 that is powered. The second unit is hooked up to the #6 as a trailer.

Rocky was interested about the Charlotte Trolley's diesel power unit providing the electricity for the #85. They want to be able do what Charlotte Trolley did to run the #85 until they had set up the catenary lines.
