The Mole Valley Railway is a Colorado Narrow Gauge railway with leanings towards the Rio Grande Southern (RGS), especially with regard to scratch-built buildings. The mainline travels over 5 bridges with two 14’ bridges traversing a creek, about 30’ of trestle and a tunnel and a storage area beneath the town. The town of Helen, GA with its touristy theme adds some local flavor to the railway!
