The Morgan Creek Railroad runs through my backyard and is a classic logging/mining line in evolution. Through a quirk of fate, an extremely wealthy industrialist from Wales moved to the Western U.S. and purchased what was then called the Morgan Creek Logging & Scenic Narrow Gauge Railway. All was well until what the locals call "The Green Rebellion" was sparked when the wealthy industrialist painted a Porter saddle tank in a beautiful Welsh green livery and bolted name plates on the cab that read "Lady Kate". In the midst of the ensuing conflagration, disaster seemed imminent but a settlement was reached. The industrialist was able to come out of hiding (he'd escaped the mob by hiding under the Morgan Creek Bridge abutments) and the Morgan Creek was sold back to the children of the original owner. It was renamed the Morgan Creek Railroad and the industrialist was given joint trackage rights for most of the line in order to carry out his then ongoing mining developments in the Morgan Creek vicinity.
This industrialist quickly arranged to have several brightly painted Welsh locomotives and appropriate rolling stock shipped to the West coast of the United States and they were promptly delivered to the headquarters of the newly formed Goldfysh & Whymsy. By some miracle, these Welsh locomotives could easily be regauged by applying an absolutely massive hex wrench to a large grub screw in each driver. It took several men to heft the hex wrench, the locomotives had to be hung upside down, and all of this provided much comedy and entertainment at the local watering hole as accounts of the goings on at the Goldfysh & Whymsy crept out.
In the early days of this arrangement there was much friction between the employees of the MCRR and G&W. All was resolved however when one Saturday afternoon the G&W pride of the line "King Louie" pulled up with a long rake of coaches, a box van full of root beer and watermelon, and invited the entire staff of the MCRR and surrounding neighborhoods out for a day of fishing from the shared Morgan Creek Bridge. (Watermelon and rootbeer must have been extreme novelties at that time; no one in the vicinity had ever actually seen water flow in Morgan Creek and the only thing you could catch there was a bad sunburn. This was not pointed out to the well intentioned G&W management owing to the previously mentioned rarity of watermelon and rootbeer.)
There is still some good natured back-and-forth to be heard every time a G&W "driver" steps in for a drink at the local watering hole, when the MCRR conductor calls out the name of each stop with the word "halt" appended, or when the long standing debate as the qualities of Welsh vs. Pennsylvania coal comes up. Outside of that, all appears to be well and good in and near the vicinity of the original Morgan Creek Logging & Scenic Narrow Gauge Railway... and it is never discussed but was immediately noticed that the MCRR management recently painted the old Shay that works the Blue Sky Mine in a markedly Welsh shade of green.
