Wales West Light Railway, Heritage railway museum in Silverhill, Alabama, US
Wales West Light Railway operates on a 1.6-kilometer narrow gauge track with wooden passenger cars running on steel frames and English-sourced wheels.
The railway opened in 2001 under the ownership of Ann and Ken Zadnichek, receiving the Dame Ann steam locomotive from Exmoor Steam Railway in 2004.
The railway carries over 30,000 visitors annually on themed journeys, including the Pumpkin Patch Express and Arctic Express during seasonal celebrations.
The facility includes 77 RV sites, a fishing lake, playground, pool, and beach access, with train rides departing at regular intervals throughout operating hours.
Dame Ann, an 11,700-pound steam locomotive, represents a replica of the Penrhyn Port Class originally manufactured by Hunslet Engine Company in Britain.
