Quick history
Historic rail operations are a unique breed. Rather than being the latest and greatest, they have their feet in the past. While it is hard to pin down exactly what is historic rail and what is not, it is basically rail operations with equipment that we might expect in a museum, but is not in a museum. They also tend to have single examples of cars rather than whole fleets. They somethings are a part of the regular transit system, other times they are not.
Some historic rail operations
