Some of my favorite railfan sites and adventures, along with some notes on the technical aspects of putting this stie together.
Without a doubt the finest railroad museum I have ever visited, indicative of a country that truly appreciates its railroad heritage. It simply looks like a museum, and includes a sweeping range of displays and rolling stock. I skipped the Cathedral to spend the day here.
This is a close call, and is a very close second to York. I found it a hair less accessible than York, but was otherwise equally impressed in all aspects of this incredible display.
First class operation start-to-finish.
Rebuilding a two-foot gauge former common carrier with live steam and great people.
A tour of a working bog-harvesting facility; while kind of like an open pit mine in terms of tearing-up the environment, efforts at mitigation and an open, welcoming attitude make it worthwhile.
All of the iron and steel and electrons are nice, but it's the people that make the railroads run.
