The Garden Railroad

The highest and best use of the Cold Creek & Northern Railway is to educate people while transporting them through the rich and varied landscapes of Windekind.

The Railroad is the best place I know to be with people and to be together.

The train travels from the highly cultivated lawns and garden areas, through swamps and meadows, across bridges into a tall spruce forest. It travels on rail joined and spiked one cross tie at a time and over trestles built from historic railroad plans. It's a journey that presents the natural beauty of the land, gardens and the diverse ecology of Windekind, while using a transportation technology that is old yet, in the mandate of our energy conservation economy, presages transportation to come in a greener energy future.
