Small Steam Train on Narrow Tracks
The side profile features a small steam locomotive coupled to a single rectangular freight car. The entire train rests on railway tracks built with visible wooden ties beneath the steel rails. The compact engine leads the cargo container along the track line.
Historical Uses of Narrow Railroads
Narrow-gauge tracks measure less than the standard distance of four feet eight inches between rails. Industries like forestry, agriculture, and mountain mining favored these smaller railways because they were much cheaper to construct around sharp hillsides. Today, many surviving narrow-gauge lines operate as heritage tourist routes through scenic national parks.
