Producer Pick: Train Mountain
In Chiloquin, Field Guide takes a ride on a spectacular mini-railroad with some garden train enthusiasts. Quenten Breen began construction on the railroad 18 years ago to provide a place where grown men could come to ride small trains. Today, there are over 24 miles of track and folks come from near and far to ride the rails of what the Guiness Book of World Records says is the longest hobby railroad in the world. We'll look at some of the meticulous reproductions, one-eighth the size of normal trains, and see what future plans are for the development of this railroad fantasyland.

Well, there have been reports all throughout the last year of wolves showing up, with a few videos offered as proof, followed by a wolf attack on livestock [...]
