In case you didn't watch the CBS Evening News...

I thought it was a pretty good story.

Bob -

VERY interesting! The depot almost looks like it could be a real depot that the guy bought and moved to the site. Would be nice to find out for sure.

It would be further interesting to learn about rolling stock (if any) or steam operations. The "engine" was a rebuilt Ford "Maverick", but might have passed for a Fairmont track car if one didn't look too closely!

Well in one part of the video I thought I saw the smokebox of a steam locomotive...but I could just be dreaming.

You saw a smoke box, but the question is does it work? It would be nice to know if this guy might have an E-mail address. who knows? Real cool news report.
