the Royal Train - http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page407.asp
It is perhaps somewhat misleading to talk of 'the Royal Train' because the modern train consists of carriages drawn from a total of eight purpose-built saloons, pulled by one of the two Royal Class 47 diesel locomotives, Prince William or Prince Henry. The exact number and combination of carriages forming a Royal Train is determined by factors such as which member of the Royal family is travelling and the time and duration of the journey. When not pulling the Royal Train, the two locomotives are used for general duties.

New York - Harlem Valley Rail Trail - http://www.hvrt.org/
Welcome to the Harlem Valley Rail Trail!. Since the mid-1980's, our association has dreamed of a 43-mile rail trail in the Harlem Valley and Taconic Hills of eastern New York.

Restaurants_and_Lodging

A Harvey House Home page - http://www.harveyhouses.net/
Hotels, Lunchrooms, Restaurants in the Old West. This page is my effort to collect as much information about the Fred Harvey Company and the Harvey Houses as exists on the Web.

Finally, I'd like this site to be linked to other Harvey sites to encourage further restoration, rehabilitation and recyclng for new uses of these fine old buildings.

Oklahoma - Ollie's Station Restaurant - http://www.olliesstation.com/
Tulsa, OK - People long for the food they grew up with. That's what Ollie's cuisine is all about. Our food is cooked and seasoned like Mom and Grandma would prepare it. We have a comfortable "mom and pop" atmosphere. The old cafe style is enhanced by the railroad motif. Ten running trains, from G-scale to Z-scale, run the length of the dining room and through scale model cities and towns. Our walls and shelves abound with railroad memorabilia. Ollies is located in old downtown Redfork on a corner that's been here since 1894. Railroads, oil wells, and the famous Route 66 all merge at Redfork Corner to give young and old a touch of history and some of the best food in Oklahoma. Thanks for being our guest!

New Zealand - Rain Forest Express - http://www.watercare.co.nz/p021.html
Just 20 minutes from Auckland’s CBD, you can embark on a wilderness adventure aboard Watercare’s Rain Forest Express, a narrow-gauge railway located deep in the heart of the Waitakere Ranges. You will be taken over wooden bridges that span valleys lined with ancient forest, and pass through tunnels lit with a multitude of glowworms (and housing the odd cave weta!). Your adventure culminates in a visit to one of Auckland’s hidden treasures, the Upper Nihotupu Dam, where the silence of the bush belies the closeness of the city.
