restored trains

Restored trains are operated by a museum, a club, or by a private company, for entertainment and historical purposes. The trains usually follow a route (or part of a route) used in the past for more utilitarian reasons. A restored train is not stationary (other than during restoration) - as opposed to a trains in a museum, where the artifacts are just exhibited and are typically not in actual service. These trains are primarily used by local people for social activities, and/or by tourists. Two examples on the West Coast of the United States are the Roaring Camp Railroads, near Santa Cruz, California, and the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train, in the Seattle, Washington area. In Australia, famous examples include Puffing Billy in outer Melbourne, the Zig Zag Railway west of Sydney, the Walhalla Goldfields Railway and the Heritage Train pulled by Locomotive 3801. The 3801 Heritage Train is unusual in Australia in that it is standard gauge and travels on the normal rail network rather than on a specially laid narrow gauge road.
