The Benwood and Wheeling Connecting Railway Company was chartered January 20, 1900 and controlled by the National Tube Company. A short line railroad, it spanned just 3.08 miles, .79 being operated under lease of the B&O. "It's entire business is the interchanging of the freight traffic between the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, the Wheeling Terminal Railway, the Pennsylvania Company and the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad; completing the transportation movement between these several railroads and the glass furnaces, steel works, rolling mills, tube works of the National Tube Company, coke yards of the Semet-Solvay Company and to the several industries located on the east bank of the Ohio River."

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, locally known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling (India). It is still operated by vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia (view photos of the landslide).
For more info about the DHR steam locomotives, read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHR_778_(locomotive) and www.irfca.org/docs/locolists/dhr-locos-full.html.
