That's what makes this miniature railroad so special, compared to other miniature railroads. Most miniature railroads only go around a small place. This one actually goes to other cities and towns like the big railroads.
Corny commentary and music, but so what? It's a priceless piece of history! It's the first time I've seen Captain Howey in a piece of film as well. Thanks for posting; excellent.

A great blast from the past. Wish we had newsreels like that now LOL. Hope to get to the RH&D Railway for a trip soon.

What date is this?

Colour film, so late 50's - early 60's at a guess. Capt Howey (the man with the large watch at 01:56) died in September 1963.
what a great vid!

I visited the line four times in the 1960s and seem to remember no 9 was a black loco in those days. Was it red in the fifties?
