The Wide Waters Garden Railroad

The Wide Waters Garden Railroad first began operation in the summer of 2000. Its popularity was both immediate and overwhelming. Big plans are underway for a complete rebuild of the line beginning in 2001.

Investing in the Wide Waters Garden Railroad

The WWGR is planning an ex(t/p)ensive expansion to begin in 2001, featuring a 100' main line, independent two-train operation, two yards, and many bridges. There are a number of ways you can invest in the Wide Waters Garden Railroad:

1. Donate Track

There's no such thing as "too much track"! More track will always be needed, at least for the foreseeable future, and track represents the largest anticipated capital expenditure. For more details, see the Track page.

2. Donate Rolling Stock

So far, the WWGR has a limited roster of rolling stock, which limits our capacity to move freight and passengers. For more details, see the Rolling Stock page.

3. Buy Your Own Rolling Stock

Visiting rolling stock is always welcome on the WWGR! Any G gauge equipment is welcome, but for full compliance with WWGR standards, see the Rolling Stock page.

4. Join a Work Crew!

There will be a number opportunities to participate in the construction of the new WWGR, including at least one dedicated WWGR weekend. Stay tuned for details.
