@ Dillon: Thanks! That’s pretty much what I suspected.
I live in a part of the US that had (or has) logging, sugar cane and gravel pits that at one time were served by rail. Most of it is done with trucks nowadays and steam was gone long before my time but it would’ve been cool to see those operations in action.
A couple standard gauge operations managed to hold on until around the end of the 20th century, mostly running small GE diesel switchers, but they’ve faded away by now.
