Itzmy Railroad

The Itzmy Railroad is unique in that it is mostly elevated above ground level, making it easy to reach the trains and maintain track. That's especially important for the club members in the "Help! I squatted down to put the train on the tracks,and I can't get up!" group.

That USA Trains SD70 is a good looking engine, with the Norfolk Southern prancing horse.
They must LOVE that SD70.
