The (fictional) Humbug & Honeydew Railway began life as a Narrow Gauge railway about 1896 (1996). The railway began in the redwood forest of California near the little town of Honeydew (actual). The rail line serviced the mines, mills and industries between the bustling coastal communities in Northern California and Southern Oregon. The north terminus of the railroad was a small engine servicing facility east of Humbug Mountain, Oregon (actual).
