Saturday, January 24, 1998, was the last run day at one of the premier 7-1/2" gauge railroad tracks in the US, the Browning Railroad, owned by HALS Member, David Hannah III. The railroad is being dismantled due to the fact that a large portion of the land that the track is located on has been sold. But the weather could not have been better, and a great time was had by all of the participants.
