For years in our area the Attica to Arcade RR has run weekend passenger trips using an old coal powered steam locomotive. I've taken my kids on the trip several times when they are younger. To the best of my knowledge it is still in operation.

Yes the Attica to Arcade RR is still running. Their Steamer was out of commission for a couple years and they had to use their desiel but the steamers up and running again. They also use it to run grain cars between North Java and Aracade during the week. I can see it puffing by from back yard.
