 The Nasonville Valley Railroad Company is located in the northern most part of the little State of Rhode Island. We are a 1-1/2" scale, 7-1/4" gauge Live Steam Railroad. It has been my dream to have a back yard railroad since I was just 13 years old. Although this is a private railroad, fellow live steamers are most welcome to help in construction and are welcome to run their locomotives by appointment.
Upon completion of construction, there will be a Golden Spike ceremony and solemn blessing and dedication of the railroad.
The first part of the mainline will be about 2,000 feet. The 20' long tunnel and is completed and a 100' trestle will be build in the spring. After completion of the trestle, we will tackle an 18' long bridge. Just a little grading left at the far end of the trestle, but that is less than a days work. Once all this is comple, we are ready to lay rail.
During the summer of 2005, we finished all grading, built a 92' long trestle, 10' bridge (will eventually be a covered bridge) and laid some 600' of rail (and balasted most of it). To see pictures, click the "Media" link to the right.
This is our current map of phase 1, with some revisions from the original plan.
