Narrow-Gauge Train Transporting a Tree Topper Star

Narrow-gauge trains run on tracks spaced closer together than standard railway lines, allowing them to navigate steep hills and tight mountain curves. Carrying a pointed tree topper star, the compact train represents historic rail transit used in scenic and remote regions.

Features of Narrow-Gauge Railways

Narrow-gauge tracks measure less than standard gauge distance, making them significantly cheaper and easier to construct in rocky terrain, dense forests, and mountainous parks. Because the locomotives and cars are narrower, they can climb steeper gradients and turn around tighter bends than main-line passenger trains. Many narrow-gauge lines now operate as historical heritage railways.
