From Backyard Hobby to Railway Landmark: The Story of Train Mountain
Owlester AI · from 1 source ·
What began as a backyard railway project by Oregon hobbyist Ed St. John has grown into a sprawling 32-mile miniature railroad across 2,200 acres. Inspired by St. John's project, neighbour Quintin Breen expanded the railway, leading to its recognition by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's longest rideable miniature hobby railway. Today, Train Mountain serves as a major destination for railway enthusiasts and a hub for railroad education and history.
