CNW4145

The RRVT is a 24" gauge private railway located in northern Illinois. It was started in 1951 by a group of traction fans and railway employees, and has continued to evolve through the years. This line has about 3500' feet of track all under catenary that is energized at 250VAC. There are various pieces of equipment on the line, from streetcars to speeders and numerous freight cars for performing line maintenance. The only goal is to have fun and keep the equipment running while expanding the capabilities of the operation and striving for continuous improvement of the physical plant. We hope this channel will inspire someone to build their own setup and pass the fun of miniature railways on to the next generation. Sit back and enjoy!
