Arroyo Grande 2 ft line info
Author: SD45X

I'm trying to find it. Only info is Norgrove Vineyard south of Arryo Grande. Don't see it on maps.

Norgrove Garden Railway came up on Google Maps in about 2 seconds. Near the intersection of Brady Ln and E El Campo Rd.

Not for me. Spent 15 minutes to finally find it.

If they don't say what state, it seems to usually be California.  Just my observation, and 2 cents worth of talk.

Driving South on 101 you’ll see the RR just below the highway, on the right, after passing the main Arroyo Grande exit.

I''ve been up and down the 101 at least 50 times and never noticed the railroad!  Here's the Google Street View from the 101-
https://maps.app.goo.gl/zckKMmpA478WryCH8  The line has multiple tunnels and it's own version of the Tehachapi loop.

Ah. Different RR. There’s a live steam railroad closer to Nipomo, but I’m afraid I’ve never been there, so I don’t know exactly where it is. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

The RR in the vineyard in AG is the operation with the recently restored WW I Trench Engine.

That’s the WW I Trench Engine. That’s the RR you can see beside, and just below 101. The one I first thought you were looking for.
