Comments on: As part of its commitment to the city, the Peterborough Utilities Commission operates the Riverview Park Zoo, including the ever-popular miniature railway, which uses a gasoline-powered locomotive to pull the train across the Otonabee River on a short loop of narrow-gauge track. The train is seen at the Riverview Park station before the first trip of the morning. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

What I really liked about it is the ride goes out of sight plus you cannot tell where you are going as it makes its way. Actually like a real train ride. Unlike most park trains.

The locomotive looks an awful lot like one I remember seeing at Upper Canada Village many years ago. Is it still operating? I was unaware of this railroad.

While I shy from operations like this, fact is, it's on rails - it counts! I'm still waiting to see more mining and construction railway uploads to this site - Eric May found a brilliant one a few years ago in Toronto - someone has go to get this operating: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=15463 Lots of odd stuff on rails if you look hard enough.
