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.
