locale=OregonThe Meadows and Lake Kathleen Railroad is a private minimum gauge railroad on 41 acres near Deadwood, Oregon, United States.
The railroad is situated on land that receives an average of 100+ inches of rain a year which feed 3 creeks with trout populations and the 14 year-round springs. Owners Ray and Kathy Robinson are working on their 12th year with help from many, many friends building the railroad which now consists of 4 bridges, 4 trestles, a tunnel, a balloon track and a water tower with just over ft to m|6200 of RailGauge|18 gauge track with an elevation difference of just under convert|20|ft|m. The railroad has a ft to m|5290|abbr=yes main line with three sidings, a few spur tracks and eventually will have a turntable and depot.
On October 13th, 2007, the "Golden Spike" was driven celebrating the completion of the railroad as envisioned so many years ago. However the railroad is not finished, since the owners still have to rework three switches, straighten and level some track and they will continually make improvements and fine tuning as well as the never ending maintenance.
