Here is a video highlighting my visit to the Maine Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in Portland, Maine back in 2005. For those who are interested.. I'm using Google Earth Pro for the satellite flyby footage.

You take some REALLY nice pics Lance!!!! Like chrisevazquez7 said, those rails are VERY close together. But that's why they call it 'narrow gauge'.

Wow. That's a very narrow gauge.
