Even here in California we had some narrow gauge. The logging train out of Boulder Creek was originally narrow gauge. there is a tourist trap in Felton with a running old narrow gauge train. If I remember correctly the old train out of yosemite was narrow gauge and there is the reminant which exists as a tourist trap outside the park on highway 41. Early steam engines here were narrow gauge until some clown decided that 'wider is better'. As I have probably remarked before I love them old trains - If I had a big enough yard, I'd have my own railroad.
