This brings back memories of my friend Bobber's outdoor 2' gauge railroad through his property. He had a Plymouth gas engine and 4 cars, all purchased from a local amusement park. It was a hoot to ride, even though it only went in a large circle, meandering past trees and over small trestles. He eventually moved and the railroad was dismantled.

I can't imagine being on my hands and knees laying each one of those zillion ties one by one!

Now this is what I've never witnessed before. The world's largest backyard railroad? This is new! I'm loving it!
