"During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, enthusiasm for narrow gauge railroading flourished in the Midwest. The arguments put forth by promoters of the philosophy were very persuasive. Particularly receptive to these arguments were residents of small rural communities not served by any rail line, who feared isolation and economic stagnation by not having a rail link with the outside world."
