Sometime in the 90’s?? At the intersection of Dean st and Pleasant Pl an 18” +/- gauge railroad ran around a property. My mom drove me down the driveway to see the tracks once but I never saw it run. I remember seeing the railroad in a local phone book advertising rides.

I was too young to remember any details about it so I was wondering if anyone here knows about it.

The “grade crossing” still exists on google earth.

I found this by coincidence while driving delivery!
The only remnant is the rail crossing the driveway and a faint berm barely visible now.
I would LOVE to see pictures if any still exist.
