This is an old mining train. When the mines shut down many years ago, they just locked everything up until the mines opened again. Well, it didn't reopen.
So, a group of people got permission, years later, to go in and get it running again. I think that is how the story goes....
Currently, running Engine #93 and #40 and at least one electric/diesel engine. This is a standard rail system.
