Narrow Gauge Railway Society
Since the formation of our Society in 1951, interest in narrow gauge railways has grown in leaps and bounds, and this has been reflected in the expansion of our membership. What was envisaged as being a small correspondence group of specialist enthusiasts has grown to a large international society with a truly international outlook.

Schmalspurlexikon Schweiz - Rail-Info Switzerland
Switzerland's rail network is one of the world's most densely concentrated rail systems. Due to the extremely mountainous terrain, railway engineers opted for the more economical narrow gauge construction; the distance between the rails is less than the standard 1435 mm. Some of these railways (such as the BLM) are simply links between two villages, while others handle the traffic of an entire canton (RhB.) Some, such as the JB were designed as tourist carriers, while others are "international", crossing into other nations (MC.) Because of this large variety of design and purpose, detailed descriptions of many of them will be found on this website.

The Birth of California's Narrow Gauge Railroads
"Promoting the Discussion of the History, Development, and Preservation
of Narrow Gauge Railroads in California" The name of this page comes from the proposed title of a new book by Bruce MacGregor. The
book will cover the beginnings of California's narrow gauge movement, tracing the first six lines
built - the Monterey and Salinas Valley, the Santa Cruz Railroad, the Santa Cruz and Felton, the
Santa Clara Valley, the North Pacific Coast, and the Nevada County Narrow Gauge. A common
thread found tying together all these efforts is the presence of Thomas and Martin Carter and
their company, the Carter Brothers.

The Narrow Gauge Circle
Narrow Gauge Circle - Colorado Narrow Gauge. While we can't experience the "Around the Circle" tour in our time we can follow many of the routes the little trains traveled over 100 years ago. The Narrow Gauge Circle is offered in an attempt to recreate the thrilling journey enjoyed by those lucky early day travelers. In addition, I have included the history of many of the other notable narrow gauge railroads that threaded their way through the magnificent mountains of Colorado. We are fortunate to have the exclusive use of Mr. Ted Kierscey's extensive collection of historical photographs from Colorado's past.
