Just to the South of the train platform are the FNSR “Live Steamers.” This is a 7.5″ gauge 1.5″ scale operating railroad. It’s called “live steamers” because they operate real steam engines – not models – at a scale of 1½” equals 1 foot on a standard gauge train.
Steamers will be operating on Saturday, November 23rd as well as during Saturdays and Sundays all month in December. Times are during regular operating hours, from 10am to 4pm.
