California - Emerald Hills Railway (Private)
Redwood City, CA - George Whitehill's wonderful backyard railroad. This railway features a beautifully-restored Blue Chip Edition Ottaway built in 1950, along with three rebuilt passenger coaches.
What's unique about our railroad is that until August of 2000 our family had zero railroading, engineering or locomotive experience other than riding other small narrow gauge trains. Our dream of having a backyard railway was realized after talking with a lot of people and taking many rides. We purchased our 12" gauge Ottaway train set in August of 2000 and learned to install the track in our small backyard in Redwood City, California. After 2 months of sawing concrete, digging tree roots, knocking down brick structures and removing play houses we were ready to start the locomotive up for the first time. Our locomotive is a coal fired steam engine, originally built in the 1950's.
