Winding its way through redwood groves in the hills above Berkeley, California is the Redwood Valley Railway. In operation since 1952, the 1/5-scale steam locomotive takes its cargo of thrilled (like the guy in the hat halfway back), amused or indifferent passengers of all ages on a fifteen minute choo-choo ride for 2 bucks a head, kids under two are free. The size of the whole thing is based on “the width of the average adult fanny multiplied by two," so two adults can sit next to each other. Of course, that size measurement came from the 1950s. The railway may have to widen their cars soon if the average American girth continues to balloon.
