W elcome to PacificNG.com, dedicated to the history of American western narrow gauge railroading. We are working to create the central location for accurate data, history, imagery, and all things relevant to narrow gauge railroading west of the Rocky Mountains. Our site has been expanding thanks to the growing support of our visitors. Originally intended to primarily provide coverage of the America's Pacific coast narrow gauge lines, our site will appeal to the fans of the Golden Era of Railroading as much of the Builders' and color information is not regional or gauge specific.

We are proud to have as contributors a group of individuals, historians, curators, authors, and artists who have developed over time a vast library and wonderful access to information. A primary desire is to generate accurate information, to correct inaccuracies that have been treated as fact, and make available in one place a unified data source. An exciting facet is the drive to share information and work collectively to build what can become a singular database, resource portal, and central site for our shared interest in Narrow Gauge Railroading.

We're Not Dead Yet!

August 1st, 2011.

All kidding aside, as our previous news update mentioned we suffered hacking related issues back in September. We were able to restore the site shortly afterwards and have been up and running since without any trouble since then. The question now is: Where are all the updates??? As many of you know time is at a premium, couple that with a busy work schedule and it isn't hard to see why yours truly (The Webmaster) has fallen behind on getting more added to the site. Despite the months of our news section not reporting anything new to the site, there have been a handful of additions. In the coming months we'll be adding even more.

We'd also like to take a moment to thank Lloyd Leher who made a donation to the site and will ensure we stay operating for the next year without a hitch. Thank you Lloyd!
