The Arborway T.T.&Northwestern Railroad is a spectacular grand scale railroad located near Steelville, MO. It does not operate for the general public, but is available for group events. It is maintained and operated by a "Friends of the Railroad" group that holds an open house on the last weekend in September. I have known about the ATT&NW for years and was finally able to attend the open house event this year. Five miles of 15" gauge track simulating a modern class 1 railroad, with a 3.5 mile round trip train ride behind steam or diesel locomotives. CTC with electric block signals allows for three or four trains to run simultaneously, plus an additional one or two on the inner loop. This video just hints at the experience.
