This channel presents virtual visits to the Oyster Creek Garden Railroad (OCRR) and behind the scenes videos providing insight into the many aspects Garden Railroading. Several tourist railroads that inspires the OCRR will be reviewed.
Construction began in 2000 with a railroad station and 14 feet of track. The theme of the railroad was the early 1900's. During the first 10 years of operation, new things kept creeping into the railroad like an invasive plant creeps in a garden, and the theme needed to shift to the 1950's. Over the second ten years, development continued. The railroad's theme was again adjusted to the Oyster Creek Scenic Railroad. A modern day tourist railroad was born.
Frequent meetings with local clubs and even a open house for an NMRA convention made the railroad, in a way, an actual modern day tourist railroad. So, after 20 years of operation the railroad's theme completed a journey from 1900 through 100 years of development to arrive in the 21st century.
